Playback sound [SOLVED]

Audacity 3 Help Forum macOS

I just got a turntable that is supposed to let me convert vinyl to mp3. I set everything up on audacity but when I record I can’t hear anything and when I play it back I can’t hear anything. Also, when I go on preferences, Audio l/O doesn’t show up from the selections on the left. I have version 1.3.13.

Update: I just updated to 2.0.6

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m guessing that this is a USB turntable … in which case you need to set your output device to be the computer’s speakers as the output sound is likely being routed back to the USB TT.

See this FAQ from the MAnual
