I input a disc from turntable all O.K. Next time there is no sound coming into Audacity although I don't think I have altered anything.
Help please.

Which Audacity version do you have (check in Help menu -> About)? Which windows version? How do you connect the turntable to the computer? Is it an usb turntable?

The versions of Audacity is 1.2.6 and I connected the turntable via a jack. Any help welcome.

If you're on Windows 7 or Vista you should upgrade to 1.3.13.
Audacity 1.2.6 is old and no longer maintained. Audacity 1.3.13 despite being labelled as beta is very close to the next 2.0 release is quite stable already. The old 1.2.6 doesn't work well on Vista or 7.
If you're on XP or older 1.2.6 will work fine, but you'll be missing some nice features. You can have both version installed but only use one at a time.
You can open 1.2.6 projects in 1.3.13, but not the other way.
If you're using a jack you're probably connecting to the line-in (blue socket on most desktop computers). Make sure you've selected line-in as the recording device in Preferences -> Devices.
