I think I am missing something obvious here.
I am running this on Linux. I have tried following the tutorials, but get stuck quite early on.

a) When I install my Umik-1 calibration file, I get this.

I don't know how much this might be affecting the following issues.

b) Although, as soon as I plug in my Umik-1 it recognises it, but it is not an available option in the dropdown menu.
c) Same with my output. I have left it as default device as it doesn't show in the dropdown.
d) I can't seem to make REW sounds come out via USB. I can manage to make everything work (although with the above limitations) using the 3.5mm jack, but I thought I would be better using an external DAC for a better signal. I can play anything else through it from my pc, but nothing comes out when I try and use REW.
I suspect I am just missing a setting somewhere.

I get the same results with my PC (Linux Mint) and my laptop (also Mint), but I also had previously tried with Manjaro on my laptop.

I try to follow the guides, but pretty much the first thing they say is 'install calibration' (doesn't seem successful) and 'select microphone' but I can't do that either.

My first thing I am trying is just an initial look and play with my room to see if I can interpret what I record. I suspect that using the 3.5mm jack won't matter hugely for this, but further down the line I would like to get a more accurate picture of my system and assume a better signal will be important?

Thank you.

OK, thank you, it seems to accept the calibration files now. It is making more sense.
UMIK-1 seems to be Input device U18dB [plughw:2,0]
I have sound via my USB DAC, that makes sound as all of PCM:default PCM: pulse default [default]
I can start to play now.
Thanks again.
