    Just bought the same Sony turntable. It will record but I get no sound.

    I thought I was alone.

    I'm running Vista Home Premium with an Athlon 64x2 processor.

    I can record but I can't monitor the sound while recording.

    Also, unless I un-plug the USB cable my speakers won't work for any other sound application.

    Exact same problem as the rest of the posts. Using a Sony PS-LX300USB with Windows XP Home SP2 I get no sound at all - I can't play direct and can't listen to anything while recording. No sound from any other applications (i Tunes, Windows Media, web sites) while the turntable is plugged in. As soon as I unplug the USB cable from the turntable the rest of the system returns to normal. Checked out the Sony site but it was no help;

We are trying to connect our Sony PS-LX300USB turntable to our Denon amplifier, using the supplied USB cable. When we play the record, no sound is coming through the amplifier speakers?
If you want to use the USB cable it should be connected to a computer not a audio receiver. If you want to connect to a Denon amplifier then you should use the left and right audio cables. Check if it has phono level out or line level out. If it's phono level out, it needs to either go through a phono preamp or plug into the phono input on the back of your receiver. If it's line level out, you can plug it into any of the other inputs and it will work.
The USB cable is mainly for recording your records to digital. But if you want to run the audio through the USB cable and listen to it in real time then here's a link that shows you how to do it. It's a different brand turntable but the process is the same.

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"

Now, all programs, including Audacity, will only use your internal sound card for audio output.

Audio-Technica AT-LP120 turntable. I have crackling in the passive speaker, but when I reverse the speaker wire,ie, red in black & black in red, the crackle appears in the powered speaker.
If you have replaced the cartridge then it must be the cartridge pre-amp that is faulty. If there are any other functions on the device such as CD, then it will not effect them. Unless there is crackling on any other function then the pre-amp has a problem. The pre-amp itself is generally a single IC. You can find it by following the turntable connection back to the inside of the amp. The signals will pass through the IC before being passed to the main pre-amp.

Bad sound quality
You cannot connect the turntable via a microphone port. You need to connect via a USB port. If you have not got a USB port to connect it as the others are in use, you can buy an extension USB socket which, will allow you to put more devices via one USB port.

You have to listen through the Audacity software. Once you start Audacity, click on the down-arrow on the toolbar next to the microphone symbol and choose Monitor Input. You will need to do this every time you start Audacity.

Home stereo audio problems
Could be a bad patch cord, a setting on the mixer, a faulty mixer (unless it works ok with other amps), or a dirty control on the Sony amp if it has analog controls. Have you tried connecting other sources to the Sony?
