Re: no line in
Does your computer have a line-in connection (usually blue on your soundcard)?
If you have a laptop, you probably have only mono microphone-in and headphone-out and you'll need to use a USB audio interface with line inputs. Don't get a regular "USB Soundcard" because they are like laptops with only mic-in and headphone-out. (The Behringer UCA202 is popular and inexpensive.)

Re: no line in
Right click on the Windows speaker icon, then select Recording Devices and check to see if it shows Line-In and that it's enabled.
If Windows sees it, Audacity should see it. You may have to plug something in to "wake-up" the line input before starting Audacity.
If windows isn't seeing it, you may have a driver problem.
