That's what I get for writing too early in the morning (smile). Gene, you
are correct. I just connected a USB microphone and am fairly confident the
following will work. Having set input to the turntable and output to your
regular sound card:
1. Open settings by pressing control-p.
2. Use up or down arrow until you find recording.
3. Tab to the checkbox that offers software playthrough while recording
and check it.
That let me hear my voice through the USB mixer (my chosen output device) as
I recorded. There was some latency, but that should not matter when
recording from the turntable.
For other circumstances, it is a good idea to turn off software playthrough.

That doesn't address the question. the question is how you can hear the
turntable playing whhile you are recording. I don't know if you can. You
can look in, I believe it's the play settings in the real Windows volume
control settings, I doubt this will be found in the Audacity settings, for
listen to this device or something similar. If there is a check box or some
way to turn this setting on, do so. But I don't know if it will work.
Since your turntable is being used as a sound card, it may try to play
through the turntable, which can't be done.
I'll let others discuss this further. There may be some way I don't know
about.

Hi Gary
This is the antithesis of your earlier problem. Whereas you don't want NVDA
to try to use the turntable as the sound card, you do want Audacity to do
so.
The following is written with no prior experience of a USB turntable, but I
am reasonably confident that my knowledge of other USB devices will suffice.
Apologies if some or all of what follows is stuff you knew already:
1. Make sure that the turntable is connected and is turned on before
launching Audacity.
2. Press shift-control-f6. That will take you from the tracks view to
the section at the top of the screen which offers numerous settings.
3. Shift-tab until you reach Playback Device. Assuming that is set to
your usual sound card, leave as is.
4. Shift-tab once more and make sure that recording channels is set to
two (stereo).
5. Shift-tab once more to Recording Device. Use up and down arrows
until you find your turntable.
6. Press control-f6 to get back to the tracks view.

Hi All,
I would like to know if there are any settings that need to be changed in
audacity so I can monitor the sound from my new usb turntable? I am using
the latest audacity and nvda. Thanks for any help.
