Room correction

RC is not working for me properly anymore. Even if I strongly hear my sub when listening music, it doesnt show up on RC screen when doing correction. I turned volume up, and still no changes.

In the past, the measured subwoofer signal was even higher than the expected signal after correction, and I had to reduce gain.

Its like I have subwoofer calibration OFF, even if its ON in the settings.

Any idea what Im doing wrong here?

Your phone is Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco?
 
Yes. POCO X7 pro. But I use external Mic.

With mic or without mic - doesnt matter. With calibration file or without - doesnt matter.

Had the same issue with Poco X6 Pro and imm 6c with cal file. Results from these phones are almost useless for meaningful eq
 
But how this is possible if Im using external mic? Btw I have the same mic as you

When I had Xiaomi 9T, everything was fine
 
What's the point of buying any external microphone connected to a phone if you can't trust these measurements!?!?!

Can it be like this because I have subwoofer bypass mode turned ON? So during music listening I hear everything properly, but during RC the app is deciding to not take into consideration sub signal? I'm at work and just figured out that I dont remember if this function was before - when I was originally doing RIC for the first time

It is not caused by sub settings in wiim home app, check frequency response of whole system via REW

Ask Poco if they mess with the response of USB microphones.

A good test is to also consider, if you have an alternative device to try, like a tablet or an Android-based DAP, to install WiiM Home App on an alternative device, plug the external mic into the other device and try running room correction on the other device to see if you get the same results.
