I have a tevion usb turntable from aldi which came with your software v1.2.6. Installed software as instructions etc.

Problem is when i record anything off of the usb turntable i cannot turn the recording level down as it is blanked out when the recording device is set too the turntable ie USB Audio CODEC. Any advice how i can turn the recording level down as it sounds distorted at the level it is at present.

Unfortunately some manufacturers are still shipping their turntables with a very old version of Audacity. I would highly recommend that you upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12 http://audacityteam.org/download/

Regarding the recording level issue. Some USB turntables have a volume control hidden on the underside of the machine - have a look to see if yours does.
Regarding recording level controls on the computer, it depends which version of Windows you are using. There's some guidance to setting up the recording device in this article: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... trol_Panel
