First I tried the jack on the front that is not the headphone jack. I think it's a mic in jack, but don't know for sure. Then I tried the red ring jack on the back. I've switched to the blue ring jack. Still no results in Audacity.
Dick, The front mini-phone jacks on my desktop are red (microphone) and green (headphone/speaker). Motherboard audio ports are explained here: <https://www.cgdirector.com/motherboard-audio-ports-explained/>.
In Audacity I have four options on the tab with a microphone icon: HDA Intel PCH: ALC887-VD Analog(hw:1,0) HDA Intel PCH: ALC887-VD Alt Analog(hw:1,2) pulse default
You don't want the microphone input. Here's an explanation of the differences between microphone and line-in: <https://producerhive.com/ask-the-hive/line-in-vs-mic-in/>. HTH, Rich
