If you have an audio interface, you could do what I've done in the past: Find an interconnect cable that has a 1/8" TRS plug on one end that splits into two 1/4" TS plugs on the other end (the two 1/4" ends on mine are color coded and labeled "Ring" and "Tip, which is essential if you want to record in stereo instead of just a split left or right channel.") Plug the small end into your PC's onboard line-out and the bigger ends into two line-level channels of your audio interface.

Then record the stereo pair


You might also be able to use the ASIO4ALL driver to enable use of both the onboard and the interface simultaneously. I've never tried it though..
Microsoft disabled "what you hear" with Vista. They were afraid people would record streaming audio
But for musicians, who use creative ways .... scr3w3d
