Line Out (or even worse Speaker Out) to Mic In will grossly overload.
If you loop externally, take Line Out to Line In.
But I doubt you'll need to. Go to Options/Properties in your sound
card's mixer applet (in the System Tray, probably) and select Record.
What options are you offered?
That's if you've got a basic sound system that uses the Windows volume
control. Maybe there's a more specialised mixer applet. It will do
much the same things.
