Re: No USB option.
The USB device must be connected and recognised by Windows before you start Audacity.
If you have Audacity 1.2.6 and 1.3.12, I would recommend that you use Audacity 1.3.12 as it is generally more reliable and has a great many enhancements that are not available in the old 1.2.6 version. If you 1.3.x version is older than 1.3.12 you should update it (Look in "Help menu > About Audacity" for the version number).

I think I'd pick that one. Reset Audacity preferences and Quality to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. Restart Audacity. Then go back into Windows Control Panels and make sure it's not trying to send your speaker sound back out to the turntable. That's another common complaint: I plugged my turntable in and now I can't hear anything.
