I could not record song in Audacity.
Samson:
Have you tried to disable the front jack that you don't have? this may force it to use your rear jack. What happened when you tried to test the mic following the guide that I linked to? Anything? Got to get back to work now, lunch break over, but I'll be back this evening.

How to do to disable the front jack. There is no jack actually present in my computer at front.How to identify to disable it. I tried trouble shooter and the msoft page goes to solution to the Realtek drivers especially for windows vista and win7. But i could install with admin previlige, but it does not work. Immediately i get a pop to update the drivers, and msoft drivers are again installed saying that mike is plugged in the front jack. I have thoroughly searched for any jack open in the front, But i could not find. Then how to disable? Is there any way to do that.
When i only plug mike of headphone and speakers, leaving the other blue jack open, the playback tab have shown speakers and headphone as playback. Recording tab shows mike, as desktop, and in the properties, if i go and check, it shows, headphone connection, but at the front pink jack.
Realtek drivers for win 7 given in the link though installed, failed to show sound meter bar if i double click. I had two audio drivers, device manager shows only one Realtek, and the Msoft sound icon only works. Peculiar is not it? As solution giver, i give this details
Samson:
If it is any consolation to you, it seems that you are not alone in having trouble with Realtek audio and an upgrade to Win7. There seem to be conflicts with Microsoft UAA Bus driver for High definition audio, which prevent the Realtek driver install. I am at the limit of my knowledge here my friend. Give it a little while and Shane may be able to give you advice to sort this.
Shane:
I am back :-)
In the hardware info tool, double click on the high definition audio device to see what other names it normally has and that will tell me what drivers. I know on my system I have to have the realtek drivers installed because it has a auto detect feature when a mic is plugged into a port and I tell it which port to use for it.

Hi, Shane, You are correct . The Microsoft sound drivers are only for limited purpose of audio. Realteak drivers, as Samson says, are not easy to install. When i clicked Intel site, (Mother board supported audio drivers, or vendor drivers), i came to know that it is not supported. I went to the Realtek and downloaded their exe file for Win 7. It could not be installed as it has compatibility issues. When i inserted my old cd that came with the assembled Pc, it reports that i do not have intel mother board. But when i downloaded the offline identifier from Intel, it shows all the specifications of intel mother board. Hell to Intel Support.
Realtek audio drivers from their site are not compatible to win 7.
It has taken me about7 hours for selecting the correct drivers. If realtek knows that it is not working in Win, they should have deleted the Windows 7 support words from their site. When i installed using Admin rights, it shows "the audio drivers for yours system is not in this package" Funny,
Then i get to this link to download a large 221 mb drivers and my problem solved.
As a precaution, i first unplugged the pc and then power on for 20 seconds to clear the power. And then i removed the cmos battery and pressed the power switch to clear anything in bios.
Then installed the driver from this link and bingo, i had installed the Realtek Audio drivers. Now the mike is shown and it is shown in rear of the computer . I tested the mike in windows sound recorder in Realtek sound icon.
Regarding audacity recording, i want to hear from Samson or you to how to set up the settings.
Now i have two sound icons , one msoft and one realtek and i use the Realtek for adjustments now. Device manager only show Realtek audio drivers. the link is
