Recording Trouble

Hi guys

I'm running Audacity 1.2.6 and Windows XP SP2 (and Vista on another laptop)

I can't record fully - I'm only given options for "Microphone" or "Line In", with no option for "Wave Out Mixer" so I can record stuff I listen to as mp3. Any reasons for this?

Thanks

Select your sound device in the Mixer Device panel, and ensure all the boxes in the window below are checked:
