Hearing recorded audio

Post by bwood4161 » Sat Apr 25, 2020 2:07 am

I am recording LPs from a USB connected deck, and I have done this in the past with the same computer but an old hard drive that crashed. I cannot hear the recorded audio as it is being recorded, via headphones, but I know that it has been successfully recorded since I can play it and hear it via headphones. Is there a setting I am missing?
