Hi, Eric, A lot of computers (especially HP) are notorious for that. It is a hardware design flaw as Joe W4TV has described.
If you disconnect the power supply from your laptop (i.e. run on battery power) and try it again you'll probably notice a significant improvement in the noise level of your recorded audio. What does that tell you? I had to resort to using an external sound card to digitize audio and then suck it into the computer via USB. Something like the M-Audio or similar devices that you can find at Guitar Center for recording musical instruments. Using one of these the audio is clean. Good luck in your efforts.
