After weeks of dickering I solved part of the problem:

I am now able to record from the microphone.

However, I am still not able to record any Internet radio broadcasts.

The computer is a GM5066E. Support information for this computer is at
http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1008881/1008881nv.shtml . However, I
could not find anything there that would solve my problem.

The control panel says that I have a Sigma Tel Audio default device.
It is installed and Windows XP says that it is working properly.

Under hardware, I see Hauppauge Win TV PVR PCI II (26xxx) sound video
and game controller. Again Windows XP claims that it is working
properly.

I have a feeling that my problem is not actually caused by hardware or
software malfunctioning.  The software is simply not written to feed
the sound coming from Internet to the recording software-- I am using
Nero Sound Trax.

On this gateway computer, under Nero I get three choices for the
source of sound:
line in, rear microphone, and microphone.

Yet, on an older computer that worked properly I would also see a
"wave" among the sources of sound.

Any comments and help would be appreciated.
