If you shlogged through the usual wiki pages and that was no help...

...or your machine doesn't have a setting for Mix-Out or What U Hear, then it may be locked out of recording internet shows. You at least have a Line-In and you can put a short jumper between that and the headphone output and record that way.

<<<A Problem Recording Sounds>>>

When most people post those English words, they really mean capturing a sound file from the internet. Is that what you meant?

That's probably the worst way to do it. If you have Windows XP and certain sound cards, you may be able to capture the sound while it's still digital and not have to use the microphone. That's the "Mix-Out" thing.

Then there is the jumper cable and Total Recorder for Windows.
