ION turntable - not receiving sounds

Post by lindag » Sat Apr 11, 2009 6:17 pm

I am using VISTA. It seems as if the software (version 1.2.6) is working and that I am recording the music from the LP but since I cannot hear the music - I am not sure.

USB devices have a habit of hijacking the entire sound – output as well as input – and they don’t tend to have loudspeakers (hence “no sound”).

What you need to do is to direct the Windows sound output to your PC's soundcard Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Audio>Sound Playback - and make this setting to the PC soundcard.

You may also need to ensure that Audacity sends it output to the PC soundcard Edit>Preferences>Audio>Playback - and set this also to your PC soundcard. You may need to stop and restart Audacity for this setting to take effect.
