Stunted range of input sources prevents recording on-line

Hello,
I have a Toshiba C660 notebook with Win7, after using a Toshiba Tecra WinXP for a while. On the Toshiba Tecra, Audacity showed a full range of input sources(aux, line in, CD audio, etc) and it was possible to record online files. But in the C660, Audacity shows only a stunted ranged of input sources; it will record via microphone, but not online files.

How do I bring this list of input sources up to the number previously available? I gather that updating drivers is one way, but clicking on 'update driver software' receives the answer that the drivers are up to date. Realtex is the driver manfacturer, but I was unable to find anything on their site (not really knowing what to look for).

I would really appreciate a tip on how to get these input sources back.

Thanks,
Ron

Have a look here for how to enable the available devices: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... trol_Panel
Note that you may not have the same devices available under Win 7 as under XP.
