Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your instructions. The ctrl f6 did the trick. Thanks also to
everyone who helped with my problem.

Hi Gary
Yes, when you connect your turntable Windows treats it as another sound card.
The same happens with USB headphones, mixers and mics. You lose speech when
you select it from NVDA because your turntable has no speaker.
What you need to do is to have NVDA using your existing soundcard and Audacity
recording from the turntable. Having connected the turntable and convinced
NVDA to output through the normal soundcard, you need to change Audacity's
input.
Open Audacity. There are two ways of making the necessary change, either
through Preferences or from a toolbar. Through Preferences:
1. Press control-p to open Preferences.
2. Press d until you get to Devices.
3. Start tabbing through the options. Leave playback on your usual soundcard.
When you get to Recording press up or down arrows until you find the USB codec.
4. Press Enter to get back to the normal Audacity screen.
The other option is to press control-shift-f6 to get to the toolbars at the top
of the screen. Shift-tab until you reach playback and recording combo boxes.
In the recording combo box, use up/down arrows to select the USB codec. Press
Enter and press control-f6 to get back to the tracks panel.
Andrew

Hi Robert,
I changed my device to my internal sound card. I noticed that when I am in
nvda settings under output I now have an usb codec. When I go to it I lose
speech again. Also when I go into audacity and try to record from my turntable
I get the sounds from the mike. Also are there any settings I need to change
in audacity? Thanks for any help.bert Hänggi

Hi David,
I have an Audio Technica turntable. How would I change where the
speech is routed in nvda? Thanks for any help.

Yep, it's normal. Troublesome sometimes, but normal.
You'll probably need to send your screen reader output to a different
device unless there is a physical headphone jack on your device. The
speech might be routed through the device.
What USB turntable do you have?
Best,
David
