Hi Hank, see the recording section of this guide for details of the recording settings of Audacity: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-2.2.0-Guide.html
To record the sound that is sent to your usb headphones, you need to set the audio interface to wasapi, and then set the recording device to an item which will be something like usb speakers, and have loopback as the last word in its name. In addition, set the number of recording channels to 2 (stereo).
