The USB interface of a turntable offers a recording device (not a playback device).
To playback from Audacity, you need to select your normal soundcard as the playback device, not the USB turntable ("Edit->Preferences->Audio I/O")
Monitoring the USB turntable is usually done directly from the "phono out" of the turntable (connecting it to a hi-fi amp).
