I'll have to find a 3-line headset somewhere and see if it works.
I think I'll just end up getting something like this for quick recording.

are you sure it's a normal jack and not a 3-line headset jack?

Nope. It's an Asus EeePC 1001PX.
It might not be that because I can do the internal mix recording just fine with pulseaudio.
However I can't figure out how to record from my mic jack. (it's one of those mic + headphone all in one jacks)

anyway, as it's a software config it should be possible to work around somehow. i remember reading something about recompiling certain kernel modules... well, you'll have to research yourself.

alternatively, you can of course always plug your line-out (or even headphone-out) into the line-in. it requires soldering in a resistor or capacitor though. to be honest i haven't tried it myself. but there are a lot of websites about this, so just get googling wink

As for hardware, this is all on my netbook, no external hardware or anything.

$ sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

good luck.

Hmm I only see "Mic Boost" and "Capture", no "Mix".

you have to select the source via alsamixer rather than in audacity itself.

to do this, open your console, then type

$ alsamixer

(without the $ obviously)

now hit F4 to get to the recording tab, then select "Mix" as the source of your recording.

Now start Audacity and you can record from whatever source you select in alsamixer.

edit: if that doesn't work then disable jack before starting alsamixer - 

$ kill jackd
