I am building an HTPC with a Sound Blaster Z for audio. The Z will feed via analog (phono) connections into a 5 channel amp. (Yes I know, horrors!, no HDMI.) That is a plain amp, not an AVR, so the Z acts as the preamp and all equalization has to happen in the HTPC.
The card has a 10 frequency band equalizer, 31Hz to 16KHz, but no way to EQ a room, and that frequency range isn't overly impressive. It does however have a microphone input. What is the best way to EQ the room using only the HTPC (and a mic of course)?
I would of course prefer a sweet automatic method, but I'll be happy with any workable solution.
