The folks who make Replay AV have already told me I can't do this with their
software any longer, thanks to changes made in Windows 7.
I will try to press on with Audacity following your instructions.

If you want to use Replay AV, list members may be able to help you. As far
as using audacity is concerned, select line in as the source. One way you
can do this is from within Audacity.
Open the preferences in audacity, control p.
I don't know where you will be in the treeview. It remembers where you were
last when you used preferences last. If you are not on devices, start up
arrowing. Devices is the first item in the treeview.
Once there, tab until you get to recording devices. Up and down arrow until
you find the source you want to use. It should say something about line or
line-in. Once there, press enter. The dialog will close, you will be back
in the main Audacity window and you can now try a test recording.
If you have to change the volume level for the line-in source, I don't know
if that can be done from within Audacity. You can do so using the Windows
volume control dialog but it is a very different interface than in Windows
XP and earlier. If you don't know how to work with it to change various
source levels, let us know.
