Alternative: Record the signal to your playback device

If you have a DAT/MD or CD-recorder that can record music, you should not use the write-to-wav-file method explained above. Instead use this method:

1.  Connect the output from you sound card to the input of your DAT/MD/CD-player.

2.  Start recording on your DAT/MD/CD-player and go to Measurement->Start in WinMLS to playback the sweep signal. (Make sure that the levels are not too low or distorting).

Use this recorded sweep signal for your measurements, and make sure you play it back using the same device as you recorded it with. This will overcome the problems that may occur because of the small sampling frequency differences between the DAT/MD/CD and the sound card.

If you use this method you are not restricted to using a single sweep. You may use multiple sweeps or if you prefer a noise signal you can use this MLS.
