Hi there koiman,
Well, you generally want to use line in for the way we have things set up here. If you are using speaker out to line in, you should definitely be able to get a reading. Check your sound card settings via the speaker icon in the task tray. Are all levels up (both the speaker output as well as the line in knob)? Nothing muted (probably not, else I'd expect you to get nothing).
Similarly, in REW's "Settings", you can control the levels for the soundcard on the appropriately-named "Soundcard" tab. Make sure you have selected the correct inputs and outputs for the soundcard being used, and then ensure that the levels are at max (you can adjust them down later, if need be).
After all that, redo the soundcard cal and see what happens. You should definitely be able to get correct levels using speaker out and line in with a loopback cable.
What's the rest of your setup like? Specifically, during normal measurements, how will you feed the input of your soundcard? Radio Shack SPL meter? Other SPL meter? Mic and preamp? Mic only?
Thanks! Good luck!
