Solved the problem in windows vista x86 home premium, service pack 1 regarding the problems with Audacity and internal recording:
Get a good soundcard with at least 6 channels (lesser might do the trick, but haven't checked this out), get a wire with a 3,5 mm jack in both ends, get a jack splitter and you're ready to go.
Right click on the volume icon and select recording devices. Here right click on the empty white space and enable show hidden and disabled devices. In here there should be something called "stereo mix" enable this.
Now hardwire your line in plug and the plug for your speakers. Remember the jack splitter? Put this in the plug for the speakers so you can have both the wire to your speakers and to the line in plug plugged in at the same time.
In Audacity you now have to select the right device to record with. Open edit, and select preferences. Then under audio I/O select the microsoft sound mapper - output as the output source and select the stereo mix as the input source.
This solved the problem for me. Ergo service pack 1 can STILL be hardwired no matter what others say.
