How to Record Any Sound Playing on a PC

Many PC's come built with an internal microphone. By default, Windows will assign this as the default audio input device for any recording application. This is useful for users trying to record audio played from their computer speakers. There are multiple ways to go about recording audio from speakers. The simplest way is by selecting to record from the computer's internal microphone and capturing any audio signal from the speakers into the mic.
