Very limited input options

Hi,
Just downloaded Audacity 2.0 and I have only two sound input options: Microsoft sound mapper (whatever that is) and my internal microphone. Since I used to use Audacity to record via my jack socket, this is not a great deal of use to me. How can I record via my line in socket, please?
