Vista ak5371 Cant find vista driver for usb turntable audio a/d converter AK5371. Can anyone help?

I guess the first thing you need is the USB cable. Tahe a good photo of USB output of your turntable and wisit any computer prts shop. They will help you select the cable you need.
More complicated issue is the software. Probably it had an XP/Vista driver but you don't have it
You should connect it and try if your computer can recognize something
If no way, try exploring Sharp's website for contact/support

the channels are combined when you use USB as an audio input. when you play the deck does in come out of both channels?

Hi,
First of all you can try with the line input of your Pc audio card. There will be 3.5 mm stereo socket in the pc audio card (blue color ) which will marked as LINE IN. To connect the turntable to this socket you need a RCA to 3.5mm Stereo converter like on in the picture bellow. I have also added a link to a video which will help you to do the same. In the video the are showing a cassette deck. In you case Turntable in place of cassette deck.
You have to set the switch on the back of your Turntable to LINE OUT. Then you can use any software to record the signals from the LINE INPUT of your PC.

If you need a high quality recording the you have to use a special converter which will do the job neatly.


To convert or upload (copy) tracks in LP in good quality then you need a interface unit between the Turntable an PC. Which will convert the analog audio out to Digital signal ( RCA to USB). The unit will come with the driver for it. That you have to install on your PC.


Keep on thing in Mind that when your are using such a converter between Turntable and PC you have to set the switch on the back of your Turntable to LINEOUT.


Here i have added link which will lead you to such a USB converter. Which will provide you studio quality stereo.

If your ION turntable is a USB basedwith a USB plug it will work. Just plaug it into your USB posrt. A driver may need to be downloaded from the ION website for windows 7

built in I use for speaker, 1 USB I used for monitor to my DJ mixing software, 1 USB I used for telephone(VOIP)

Hi there; I had the same problem, not being able to install or even view the files on the disc. I have XP therefore out of curiosity I ran it on a PC with Vista and it worked; so I promptly transferred the disc back into my disc drive and bingo it worked. .....Don't ask me how...but it did. Good luck

You answered your own question: "He has Vista ..."

Vista still has a lot of bugs in it in regards to audio codecs. Most manufacturer's won't provide support on PC's with Vista.
