1. You are probably on one of the icon views in Control Panel, rather 
than the default Category view (top right is where you choose the view).
It sounds as though your machine has the "Stereo Mix" recording option 
missing. Many modern machines do, and it's a "political" problem caused 
by lobbying. It is unlikely that trying different Realtek drivers will 
help, and the drivers you have may well hook into the software of your 
particular machine, so I wouldn't think changing them would do much.

2. This is normal.

3. You will have to use some sort of streaming audio capture 
application. There are a few free ones, but I will plug "Total Recorder" 
again. As well as being a stand alone recording application, it provides 
an audio driver that appears as a source in many audio programs. I would 
assume this would appear as a source in Audacity, although I haven't got 
both programs installed on the same machine here. There is a slightly 
crippled trial version of the program on their website. I have no 
connection with the program except as a long term satisfied user.
