USB Digital Sound Level Meter 40-130dB: Can anyone help me (and I'm sure, others) with software?

The USB portion of the device is rather tricky to use though it worked for me on first attempt because of certain circumstances. First I ordered the entire kit (meter, cable and software from a Chinese firm called Gain Express. They are reputable I have now purchased this kit for each of my test locations and for my technical crews. The second and what I only figured out today after my test facility told me they couldn't get it to work on their system is that you must run this program in XP SP3 compatibility mode. (Accomplish this buy Right Clicking on the program and selecting properties. Moving to the compatibility tabs and running in the above mentioned OS). After all this is accomplish a more expensive meter might have been a better choice but hope is not lost just stick with me. To finally read data on your computer screen you will need to have installed any serial converter to USB driver. Because of the nature of what I do this was done on my PC well before I ever bought this meter but this is a relatively rare driver. You can find this driver here (http://www.drivermax.com/driver/update/Ports/Gigaware/Gigaware-USB-to-Serial-Cable/481626) take care to download the drive and not click on the deceptive add in the page. Lastly the cable and meter logger software can be found from gain express at the URL below http://www.gainexpress.com/products/cdc-sl814cd-optional-software-cd-usb-cable-for-sound-level-meter Once you have installed the logger software and the serial to USB driver and change to run in compatibility mode you will need to reboot your PC to enable all changes and it should work for you. Hope this helps but I know this process is a pain. However I would rather spend 15 dollars on additional cables and 30 minutes in setup than buy 300 dollars at the cheapest meter that will work seamlessly

First you have to connect this to a laptop, because it is powered by a USB2.0/3.0. There is a application that goes with it, you can configure input/ouput channels from that application installed on the laptop. And you can set the output level from the knob on it (zoom in on the picture, it is on the upper right corner of the panel). Hope this helps.

I have been using REW with this mic. The software is free from home theater shack and is a great tool to measure speakers and look at the measured acoustics of a room. Hope that helps

Any recording software should do the trick, for example Sound Recorder integrated in windows. And one more thing, I may be mistaken but I think card supports only 16bit 44.1Khz through digital in.

No idea, but after my third unit died (after just a couple months) I looked for another USB audio interface solution. This unit was discontinued a while back, every unit I had failed in the same way. I really loved this unit when it was working, but I lost confidence that its a good thing to own.

A couple of suggestions since you say you already checked the connections (make sure you have rotated the jacks in case they have not seated properly thus preventing left and right channels to pass information). On the sender unit, assuming it is connected to a computer - Go to Control Panel&gt;Sound. Once there, you will see the sound devices hooked up to your computer - the audioengine should be one of them. Highlight that entry, then either right click or click on the properties button below. Once there, go to the Levels tab. Once there, the first item displayed is the audioengine audio output level. You can reduce the volume through the slider tab. Now click on "balance" just to the right of the volume display. That will give you access to the levels for the left and right channels. You should see that left channel is reduced to zero - adjust it up to be equal with the right channel. If you see that the computer is configured correctly, then the problem is either a faulty audioengine or a bad physical (jack) connection at the Sender or the Receiver. Hope this helps.

Sorry, my computer is a windows platform. Also, my Soundbridge gave out 3 or 4 years ago. After that we got 2 Logitech Internet radios (1 Squeezebox & 1 SmartRadio) and we love them!

Connect the DacMagic via USB (load the associated driver. Doing so, will by pass the computer soundcard (ideal, what you want). That's it.

Typically you find this in the "audio/interface settings" of either the DAW software or the system preferences. Tascam can help troubleshoot if needed.

This most likely uses Coreaudio (built in to OSX) since it is USB. I just need to know if it reads as Optical (no volume control) or USB audio (full volume and equalizer control)

Has anyone tried this that can verify whether the volume is reduced with 2 speakers?
