Hit your volume icon on the taskbar, choose "options", "properties", tick "recording", click "ok", then you get the recording control.

You may have a "what u hear" option. If not try "Wave Mix" or "Wave".

Hope this helps. When using Audacity to record you'll see the shape of the waves straight away so you know whether it's working or not.

Hope this helps.

Dave, what type of sound card do you have? The "what u hear" option should only be avalible with Sound Blaster sound cards. That is why gambit does not see this option for a recording source.

Gambit, you can do it the old fashioned way, by hooking up the line out of your sound card to the line in of your sound card, and record from the line input. Just make sure to mute the line input so to can't hear it (otherwise it will feedback). If the recordings you make sound bad (distorted), turn down the play control (master volume) output.

As for free software to record into, I don't really know of any.
