Hi folks, anyone have this happen?

I had never yet played with the auto-EQ of my Denon 3608 because I wanted to try it without it for a while then see if I liked the changes it made once I was used to it without. Then procrastination hit and I didn't get around to it until last night. Never got past the first test.

Can't get by the speaker discovery part. It says there is too much ambiant noise or my levels are too low.

It seems to be not hearing the sub because it keeps repeating the sub test noises about 4 times, getting louder each time. I experimented by disconnecting the left front and it also repeated it's tones when normally it only did that speaker once. This would seem to indicate repetition indicates it can't hear that speaker.

What I have tried.
Turned off air exchanger, put clickety footed dog outside, turned up levels on my sub until the wall behind it made more noise than my sub did, I think I proved it is the sub it can't identify (see above), Yes! I had the mic plugged in and confirmed setting for mic input was correct. Sprinkled non-conductive, Holy-plasma over my receiver to make sure there were no evil spirits from Randy's house.

Anybody ever have a similar issue who can shed some light? I should mention I did use the Auto Room Setup for speaker levels on several occasions, just not the EQ part, and it worked fine except for the sub distance being misrepresented but I expected that.
