See here:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tu ... puter.html .

You will need to scroll down that page and click on the link for the operating system you have. For example if you are on Windows you will need to click this link:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tu ... ndows.html .

It is common to see the error you quote on Windows Vista or later because Windows usually disables all the inputs except microphone. In that case follow the steps in "Windows Control Panel for sounds" on the above page.

If you need help after that please tell us whether you are on Windows, Mac or Linux and exactly what version thereof you have. Then we can move this post to the correct Forum board (see the text in red at the top of the page).
