Re: i am only recording on right channel
Make sure both Windows & Audacity are configured for 2-channel stereo.
Most USB turntables also have line-level analog outputs so try the analog outputs into your stereo (or TV or with powered computer speakers, etc.). If the left-analog output is dead that proves the turntable is bad. If the analog outputs both work the turntable's USB port is probably OK and there's probably something wrong with the computer settings.
If you have a desktop/tower computer with a regular soundcard you can try the line-input (usually blue). Most laptops only have mic-in, which is not correct.
