Simply because you can hear something doesn't mean the audio output of that device is recordable. For instance... if you used outboard MIDI synths and were monitoring with an external mixer, the audio output of the external MIDI devices would have to be routed (by you) into the audio inputs of the computer to be available for recording. Same with what you're trying to do. Is the main audio output of your PC through the same audio card that has the built-in soundcard synth? If "yes", the the function you're looking for is not a Logic function but a instead, a feature of your audio card's software mixer. The "record" section of the software mixer will probably have a selection for recording all output of the audio card. Cheap Soundblaster audio cards labeled this device "All You Can Hear", other audio cards may use, "Stereo Mix" or something similar, select this device as the record master. You will either have to do a real-time bounce or set Logic to record a new stereo track and play/record the song in real-time.
