Trying to get through the first step where you connect the line in to the line out on the soundcard. It has a meter on it where you are supposed to adjust the input level so that it matches the output level.

I get nothing on the input level no matter what I do. Everything is set up exactly how the directions say to, but I get nothing

Here’s what I have in my REW quickie instructions file:

1. Run the Check Levels routine (in Settings icon) selecting Check/Set Levels with Subwoofer in the Levels pull down box, with the SPL meter at the listening position and the dial of the meter at 80dB position (or whatever scale allows 75dB to be measured).

Ensure the REW output VU meter is at -12db and the Sweep Level at -12dB.

Set the Wave Volume at 1.000 and the Output Volume about ~0.500. (If those fields are blank, change Input Device and Input and Output Device and Output from Default to USB Audio, or the name of the soundcard, if that options available, and Speaker for output, and Line In for input. Change).

Adjust your receivers volume control so the actual standalone Radio Shack SPL meter reads ~75db at the listening position.

Then adjust REW Input Volume to end up with -12dB on the REW input VU meter (i.e., matches the Output meter).
