It´s easy to check if your laptop (and your settings) are good enough for audio recording. Just record without connection to your audio source (but at normal volume settings) and watch how much noise the setup produces on its own.
Just to compare - my SB Live is at about -72db at Line In and about -57db at Mic In (with Mic boost enabled).
I know the problem from my laptop that I only use to record voice takes with a mic. The quality is much worse than my SB Live Line In, I would never use it to rip music.
If you are stuck with it, you could try to mute all other audio in the mixer (playing AND recording) - you could also try to play with the volume to see if the bad quality is not a problem of a too powerful signal.
What about buying a longer cable and using your PC to rip? I´m a little lucky because the cable to my PC speakers is long enough to re-use it to connect the PS2 to the PC. I use headphones to check recordings, anyway. ^^
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Everything´s getting better.
Nothing´s getting good.
