If all else fails, there are Bluetooth devices which act as a headset
to a cellular phone, providing analogue audio output (balanced and
unbalanced) which you can feed to the computer, either directly, or
through a USB interface box; see jkaudio.com.  Of course, the computer
can record the conference, Audacity being a dead-simple approach.

Needs such as this are a strong impetus to keep an W7Pro machine under
the desk or in a closet (then you can enjoy Webex).  Life is short;
get the job done, whatever it takes.
