Trying to Use Sound Recorder to Record T.V. Theme Music

[mutefan]

I hold the microphone near the laptop speakers, but when I try to play
it back in Windows Media Player, there's silence. I've checked all the
Volume levels; everything's set to "max."

Have you checked to be sure the microphone is set as the active recording
device? Right-click the speaker in the system tray and select "Recording
Devices" and you can see and test active devices there.
