I am on Mac 10.5.5 and have followed the advice without fail in the girl's guide to usb turntable that is posted below........gone over and over the instructions given in that post.
on my mac, in the system preferences under input, i have chosen usb codec... when the turntable is playing i see the input meter in system preferences move..but no sound... nothing is being recorded in audacity either...... help me before i go insane!!!! i thought this was going to be easy...

You have the same system I do (at home).

Launch Audacity and when it arrives, click once inside the right-hand sound meters. They should light up and show you the same music that you saw on the Mac System Panels The little microphone symbol near the center should say Default Input.

Still nothing?

Audacity > Preferences > Audio I/O > Recording > Channels Stereo.
Audacity > Preferences > Quality > Rate 44100
Audacity > Preferences > Quality > Sample Format 16-bit

Restart Audacity and try it all again.
