Re: record audacity using headphonemicrophone jack
As a general rule, entertainment/stereo recording needs to be done outside the computer. I use a Behringer UCA202 with a Windows PC...

It also works on Mac and Linux. If you need to direct-connect a conventional turntable, Behringer also makes the UFO202 with a built-in phono preamplifier and ground connection.
Other people make devices like this.
Be careful about devices like the Startech ICUSBAUDIO which will not accept a stereo connection any more than your PC does.
Scroll down to USB Devices.
