You need to change the input to Stereo Mix from the drop down menu at the top (right), rather than mic.

Should i have some options under the "device" drop down menu? Nothing is showing up.

To do what you want to do, you need a sound card.

Don't all computers these days come with build in sound cards? could it just be a fault with its drives or summit? Any ideas?

Speakers aren't the same as a sound card.

I think most desktop PCs do, but not all laptops do. My laptop doesn't have one, as I found out a couple of years ago when I tried to record the Hyde Park gig using Audacity. If you look in the My Computer bit of your machine, under Hardware or something, your soundcard should be listed there (if you have one). Usually if you right click on it, one of the options is to search online for updated drivers.

Re: Sound recording softwere.

I realize speakers are not a soundcard. However, I assumed that you could not have sound without a soundcard. I found that if you plug directly into the CD player you can have sound with no soundcard, so maybe that's what he's doing. We don't know...
