I'm glad it's working now on at least one computer.

You are using the latest Audacity 2.0.3 aren't you from
http://audacityteam.org/download/ ?
If you are using 2.0.3 and you cannot choose any inputs that means the sound card is completely disabled, or if that problem comes and goes, perhaps your sound device drivers are not the latest ones from the motherboard or computer manufacturer. Here is a link you may want to look at

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
In my particular case, I at first experienced the very same problem. After having
tried everything I could think of, SETTINGS, etc., I decided it just HAD to be
something in my computer's BIOS. This will be my Asrock 775 Dual VSTA, which
does in fact require the Realtek HD audio drivers. So, I rebooted into the BIOS,
and didn't find anything that looke like it might have something to do with it.
Later, my son came over, booted-up into the BIOS, and it took him about 30 secs.
to find it, in CHIPSET CONFIG, and he in fact fixed the problem. This particular
motherboard does have a rather complex BIOS - F11 and then F2. Anyway, my
Audacity Recording Studio is working just fine now. Hope this helps others.

Thanks. BIOS (if not replaced by
UEFI ) seems to be getting less full-featured in many new laptops these days, but it's always worth a mention.
Can you say what exactly the setting you changed was called? How many audio settings were there?
