Vista, Win7 and Win 8 operating systems disable the "record what you hear" or "stereo mix" feature but it's pretty easy to enable the feature.

Right click on the speaker icon near the system clock to open up a sub menu and select the "Recording devices" option.

Once the Recording devices window opens, right click in a blank area where there is no writing to open another sub menu.

Put checkmarks to enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices"

Back in the Recording devices window, right click on the stereo mix option and enable the option.
