Hey Blade!
My name is Lindsey, and I work with the Windows Outreach Team. I noticed you are trying to record sound. I am not sure if you have a sound input device but if you do you can use Sound Recorder. It should have come with your Windows Vista Device. Here is some information on it and some instructions:
Using Sound Recorder, you can record sound as a digital media file on your computer from a variety of devices, such as a microphone that is plugged in to your sound card. The types of audio input sources you can record from depend on the audio devices you have, as well as on the input sources that are available on the sound card that is installed on your computer.
Make sure you have an audio input device, such as a microphone, connected to your computer.
Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Sound Recorder.
Click Start Recording.
To stop recording audio, click Stop Recording.
(Optional) If you want to continue recording audio, click Cancel. In the Save As dialog box, click Resume Recording, continue to record sound, and then click Stop Recording.
Click the File name box, type a file name for the recorded sound, and then click Save to save the recorded sound as an audio file.
Notes
To use Sound Recorder, you must have a sound card and speakers installed on your computer. If you want to record sound, you also need a microphone.
By default, the recorded audio is saved as a Windows Media Audio (WMA) file.
If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic N or Windows Vista Business N, your Sound Recorder files are saved as .wav files rather than .wma files.
You can play your recording in a digital media player program that supports playback of WMA files.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

Not sure exactly what your question is, but i know for Mac you can use a program called Audio Hijack

It's pretty cool, you can capture audio directly from Safari or really any other application you have running. But again I don't fully understand your question, or what system you are using (calling a computer a PC is like calling camera a film camera when you mean video camera, it can really be interpreted in a lot of different ways)
