If you can't (or don't want to) use the IDT speakers device, then the "better way" is to choose WASAPI Host (not MME), Logitech Speakers for output, Logitech Speakers (loopback) for input, and set recording channels to stereo.

This is all explained in Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Windows - Audacity Manual .
