Hi guys not sure if i need to calibrate the soundcard if using a radioshack slp meter to the line in on my htpc motherboard then hdmi out to my avr. If I do how do I do this as Its not the normal setup I believe.

I'm using the java drivers also. Is this correct.

Thanks.

Fine not to do a soundcard cal, wouldn't apply for that setup. With the Java drivers you will only be able to access stereo pairs - that might be only left and right, or it might be there are more pairs corresponding to centre and sub, surrounds etc. Either way, make a selection in the Output box, don't leave it as Default output. The alternative is to use the ASIO4All ASIO driver, which creates a pseudo-ASIO device that combines the various inputs and outputs available on the PC. That is the arrangement described in AustinJerry's guide, although the guide is written around using a USB mic the principles are all the same if using an SPL meter on a PC input.
