No, it doesn't help. It seems like maybe it only wants to record from a
microphone, the Help function says you need one, but another place in Help it
says you just need an Audio Input Device, defined as a mic or a CD-player for
examples. Is there a way to do it in Media Player instead of just using
Sound Recorder? I only want about 5 seconds' worth of the song.

Right click on the little speaker down in the task bar and left click on it
. Then make sure something isn't muted.

Nope; it still does not help. The Sound Recorder appears to run, but no
sound is recorded.

A few comments : re-install your sound card drivers.
Have you actually chosen CD to record from ?
Upgrading from WMP9 to 10 will have absolutely no effect if you can't solve
the WM9 problem.
Also on playback make sure nothing is muted (except microphone).

It doesn't help. I have come to the conclusion that Sound Recorder will only
work from a microphone and will not record any clips from a CD. The help
functions for XP and for Sound Recorder itself are contradictory on this.
Microsoft ought to fix that.
