Recording from the Soundcard

Hello,



I have recently brought a Sony Vaio laptop.



I am very happy with it. But there is one feature that appears to be missing.



When I try to record from the soundcard non of my software can find it.



It only records from the microphone.



I should be able to go to sound and choose ''what you hear'' or a similar setting. This will allow Nero Wave Editor or Audacity to detect the soundcard.



I have had both these softwares work on my old XP.



How can I record sound from my soundcard using my new Viao?

thank you

i will buy that cable than.
