Missing Selection From Drop Down Menus

[oldnoviceguy]

Hi I am a complete novice at this, so my problem may seem very simple to all you experts.

I have recently become the proud owner of a Bush USB turntable (Model CTT6-PCR). It came with Audicity programme 1.2.6 which appears to have installed correctly. However when I followed the CONNECTION TO COMPUTER FOR RECORDING instructions I do not have the selection USB AUDIO CODEC in the drop down menus of either the playback device or recording device on the AUDIO I/O tab.

To date I have tried different USB sockets on my computer, different USB leads and also a different turntable of the same make and model. I have also tried rebooting my computer after disconnecting and reconnecting all USB peripherals ie keyboard, mouse, printer and turntable but everything I have tried makes no difference.

After rebooting, my computer informed me that it had recognised the following, USB Composite Device, UAC 3556B and 2 USB human interface devices.

Computer Dell Studio

Operating System Windows Vista

Playback Drop Down Menu Selections:

Microsoft sound mapper - output
Speakers (Realtek HD)
Realtek digital output (RCA)
Realtek HDMI output


Recording Drop Down Menu Selections:

Microsoft sound mapper - input
Line (2 - UAC3556B)
Headset microphone (2 - UAC 3556B)

I would be grateful for all the help anybody can provide to help me solve this problem.

Many thanks

Start off with reading this article from the Wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... turntables

As it points out the manufacturer's instructionscan often be wrong (mine was when I had a USB TT)
