Audacity 2.0.2 Error while opening device. Input

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

Hello,

We are trying to use Audacity 2.0.2 to record from an SPT-106 USB turntable (not sure about the manufacturer) using a Windows XP computer. It appears that the turntable is recognized by the computer but when I try to record using Audacity, I receive the following error:

Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.

In audacity, the settings I’m using are MME, SB Audigy Audio (DF00), USB Microphone, and 2 (Sterio) along with a project rate of 44100.

In the control panel, the Sound playback and Sound recording options of the Audo tab match these settings.

Can someone please help me figure out what other settings I need to adjust to get this to work?

Thanks in advance.,
Donna

Hello,

I tried the steps at the posted link but unfortnately no luck. I’m still getting the same error. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks,

Sorry that FAQ contains all that I know about the causes and cures for that (I wrote a chunk of that FAQ for the manual) - so no fresh ideas from me, sorry.

Try the steps for detecting USB audio devices here (even if Windows “appears” to see the device):
