Are you still getting the same error message as written in your original post in this thread? Did you upgrade to Audacity 1.3.11 as Bill suggested? You are connecting directly through a USB port and not through your Digibox, right? Can you try without the digibox connected at all - as that could be ...

I hear faint sound as I play the record at 45rpm on the turn table but nothing thru the speakers. When you plug in a USB device like this your computer hands over control of all sound services to the USB device - both input and output. Since your USB TT doesn't have a set of speakers, you then don'...

Mind you, my iTunes/iPod default settings a while back seemed to be set to crossfade between tracks - a dumb default IMHO.

Do you fancy a crossfade in Turandot at the gapless track boundaries? Not what Puccini intended at all, methinks ....

As you're using iTunes I wouldn't bother with MP3 - rather I would use AAC which is Apple's format that it uses as default when you rip CDs into your iTunes library or if you buy a song from the iTunes Store. AAC generally gives better quality that MP3 for the same bitrate. Just export as WAVs from ...

As Steve says - and ... When you plug in a USB device like this your computer hands over control of all sound services to the USB device - both input and output. Since your USB TT doesn't have a set of speakers, you then don't get any sound from the computer (not even the normal computer sounds). Al...
