I'm using linux 18.04. I successfully recorded a vinyl record. When i went back to use it again it starts then it just freezes. I tried purge it from system & reinstalling to no success. any help would be appreciated.

This sometimes happens with the default record and/or playback settings. The defaults use PulseAudio (the same as the "Pulse" setting.
Look in the device toolbar and select the "hw" devices that correspond to your recording / playback device(s).
