A "USB turntable" normally plugs directly into the USB socket in your computer, and a driver for the turntable or a generic USB audio driver allows the computer to input the audio directly from it.

Why would you need RCA jacks for a USB device?

If your turntable has outputs that end in RCA plugs, those should be 'extras' to allow it to be used with a conventional analog stereo, or the analog "line in" jack on a computer. Totally not necessary for a USB turntable to connect to the USB on your computer.

I understand what you are saying,now. my problem is ,when I play album to record i cant hear it playing through computer speakers.cant monitor it.although it records and playback is loud and clear.

Try enabling "software playthrough" in Audacity, that should let you hear what is being recorded.

If it doesn't--your OS and hardware might be part of the issue as well, post what they are too.

playthrough software was the answer,many thanks hellosailor, now i can start experimenting i will no doubt be back with more queries.
