What?

Headphones are a form of output, you can't record from them.

What are you trying to do?

Sound goes to, not from the headphones. Think of the headphones as portable speakers.

What you wan tto do is record the sound coming from the computer TO the headphones. If you dont understand the concept you can't solve the problem.

With that said *opens audacity*

Open audacity and hit the red circle. It records sound coming into the microphone. Now if you want to record the actual sound itself, I'd suggest something like AudioHijack.

What about getting a 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack stereo cable and linking from headphone socket to microphone socket, or is that what you've tried?
