Trying to digitise vinyl records but - 9999 un anticipated host error appears

[UKG2008]

I’ve bought a new Audio-Technica deck to digitise my vinyl records. The deck is connected to my PC using its USB lead. My PC is Windows 10 and I have Audacity 3.6.3 loaded.
Every time I press “Record”, this 9999 error appears.
I have altered settings but nothing different happens.
I have switched the USB lead to USB 2 and USB3 ports. No difference.
My PC is recognising the deck as “USB Audio Codec”
What am I doing wrong ?
Can anyone help please ?
Thank you.

Probably not super-helpful but:

9999 Unanticipated host error : this means means “something is wrong”. And appears to most often be due to either:

1- A lost connection to a USB audio device.
2- Recent Windows / Mac update requiring that user gives permission for Audacity to access the microphone.

Permissions/Privacy Settings.

Try all 3 hosts (MME, Direct Sound, WASAPI).

Try Listen To This Device to make sure Windows is getting a signal. It should work without Audacity (or any other application).

Hi DVDdoug,
Definitely “super-helpful” !
Your privacy settings suggestion was the answer. A recent MS update had turned the microphone access to Off.
I have just made my first successful digitised recording from my new record deck.
Thank you very much.
