Hello and thanks for reading!

I recently purchased a Innovative Technology USB turntable... I installed audacity and then lost all audo on my computer. I can't figure out what setting needs to be changed.

Thanks so much

Windows has given all the audio to your Turntable - OK, I know that the turntable only has USB audio out, but Windows does not know that, so it is trying to play sounds back through the turntable. Go the the Windows Control Panel and in the Sounds and Audio Devices section, switch the default playback device back to your sound card.
