    No bass output from Laptop

    OK I have managed to install REW on my old desktop, wired everything up and no problem at all with bass levels. Headphone output used here as well. So beware of Dell laptops. Done some great measurement curves.

    No bass output from Laptop

    Update. The Dell engineer came and replaced the motherboard and updated the BIOS. We also looked at all the software settings including AudioPro (above). In short nothing worked. The latter would boost the bass a bit but, if disabled, bass cuts off completely at 60Hz. Even with it turned fully...

    No bass output from Laptop

    OK but there does not appear to be this option. There is nothing to click or disable.

    No bass output from Laptop

    Did some online research and it appears its a common issue with laptops. The driver mutes the bass output to prevent the internal speakers being overloaded. The trouble is there does not appear to be any way of turning this off. Tried updating the audio driver and it actually seemed to work for...

    No bass output from Laptop

    UMIK-1 not appearing in input list

    Ah I think I've solved it. The mini USB lead was faulty and did not push all the way in at the mic end. Changed the lead and all looks OK now

    UMIK-1 not appearing in input list

    When I first plugged the UMIK-1 mic to the Laptop it showed in the input list (and I got a message saying new input device connected from the laptop), but now it is not recognised. Tried unplugging/plugging/reloading REL. The light on the mic is coming on but nothing else showing it is...
