Hi Folks, Unlike desktop sound cards, which usually have a "Line In" socket for headphone/speaker output (aka "Line Out") from audio devices, most laptops seem to have only microphone input (though they do have "Line Out").
Erm, OK, this is going to be a silly question I realise, but why on earth are you recording sound you're generating on the computer in this way? Set the recording device to the mixer and record directly from the soundcard, getting exactly what's being sent to line out to start off with. You can do this with, for example, audacity. If your sound card doesn't have such a device, and the output program supports alsa, then look at the dmix settings for alsa and send the output to that.
Hope that helps,
