Not recognized I just received my Ion audio turntable and the software works fine on my computer but the turntable doesn't do anything. It will not mix, or cue, or interact at all with my software/computer. It said it was installed correctly but it is not showing up as an external device either. Please Help!

SOURCE: Appears to be installed properly but doesn't record

When you first connect the turntable, Windows XP (and Mac OSX) will often select the "USB Audio Codec" as the audio input and output for your entire system. Since your turntable does not have speakers, audio will not be heard from your programs until you tell Windows not to use the turntable as an output device. Here's how to change these settings so that your internal sound card will always be used for playback whether or not your ION TTUSB is connected via USB:

For Windows:
1. On the bottom left of your screen, select the "Start" menu.
2. Select "Settings" then "Control Panel".
3. In the window that opens, select the "Sounds and Audio Devices" icon. (If you don't see a choice called "Sounds and Audio Devices," choose the "Switch to Classic View" option in the panel on the left of the window, and the "Sounds and Audio Devices" icon should become available in the list on the left.
4. Select the "Audio" Tab at the top of the "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel window.
5. Under "Sound Playback," choose your internal sound card as the default device. This varies by computer but should not be set to "USB Audio Codec" or "Microsoft Sound Mapper".
6. Under "Sound Recording," select "USB Audio Codec" for your default device.
7. Check the box titled "Use only default devices".
8. Click "Apply"...then "OK".

For Mac:
1. Open your Hard Disk.
2. Open your "Applications" folder.
3. In the "Applications" folder, open the "Utilities" folder.
4. In the "Utilities" folder, open the "Audio MIDI Setup".
5. In the "Audio MIDI Setup" under Audio Devices, set:
   
   
   • "Default Input" to "USB Audio Codec"
   • "Default Output" to "Built In Audio"
   • "System Output" to "Built in Audio"

SOURCE: It doesn't work!

with everything plugged and running go to preferences in FILE and set Recording Device and channels to Audio device USB in Audio I/O.Tick software playthrough.
now set the microphone box to Stereo mix on the home screen(box is left of small scissors) hope this helps.nigel.

SOURCE: Need drivers for my ION Audio USB Turntable

Drivers are not necessary. Connect the TTUSB to a USB port on the computer (not on a hub or in the front panel) and the device will install as "USB Audio Device" From there, you can use Audacity (freeware from Sourceforge) or the Mixmeister EZ Vinyl Converter software they ship with the unit to record.
Here are direct links to the software and documentation:
EZ Vinyl Converter (PC)
EZ Vinyl Converter (Mac)
Audacity Software Guide

EZ Vinyl is pretty much get-up-and-go. The guide I have is basically "start it up, hit "record"

Note: when you hook up the TTUSB, it will become the default output device. You will need to go into the sound options in XP and Vista to change the default output device to your usual audio devices.

SOURCE: ION TTUSB10 turntable plugged into Toshiba laptop,

Maybe the output is not good enough for line in on laptop try mic in, then double click the sound icon down bottom right where time is, goto options, properties, then recording inside of recording make sure all boxes are ticked so you have all options like mic wave stereo mix line and so on, click ok, now make sure what ever you have the turn tables pluged into is selected as your recording device and not muted try again, once this is all ok ., it should work. hope this helps. also make sure your software you use to record is also set up same. take care
