Re: bypassing USB port for USB turntable

Can we go back a couple of steps....
See here for how to view the recording inputs that Windows knows about http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... es#vistacp
Is there a USB option listed?
Is the option greyed out?
In order to record from the USB input, Koz is quite correct in that the USB device must be recognised (and enabled) in Windows, otherwise Audacity will not be able to use it.kozikowski wrote:You still need to forget Audacity for a while. Leave it closed.
Connect the turntable. Let Windows chew on it for a minute.
In Windows:
Start > Control Panels > Audio (or Sound) > Recording.
Look for a listing for USB Audio Device, Audio Codec, or something similar. If you don't have that, then Windows didn't find the turntable and Audacity won't find it either.
