The fact that you have audio at the LINE OUT jack,which you can hear 
with your headphones, but nothing in the computer waterfall, strongly 
suggests the problem is either in the cables between your radio and 
computer soundcard, in the computer soundcard, or the setup of the 
software or soundcard in the computer.

Since you have tried multiple computers and applications, I'd first 
eliminate the cables as the suspect.
