Why can't I hear any sound when I record from my turntable conver

If the amps connected to the deck have no dedicated "phono" socket / setting you will only hear weak sound. However you can get a magnetic cartridge pre-amp. This connects between the turntable and amp and makes the signal the same level as what would come off say a tape recorder.

This sound like it could be somekind of feedback hum, or earthing problem. Check all the connections.

Probably something to do with the control panel of your computer sound system. You might have got one of the controls turned down or switched off.

If you can connect the turntable to a computer and when it's playing hear the sound from your computer speakers then no you don't need anything else. However you will need software to record it and put it on a CD. There are free software out there, but I wouldn't recommend downloading it, as it could be full of nasty things that you don't want on your computer. There are some cheap software packages on places like Amazon, such as Sony Sound Forge or my personal favourite Magix Audio Cleaning Lab.

You might have a poor earth connection on either a lead or on the cartridge. That would explain the light far away sound.

No only to transfer any MP3 to an Ipod.

There will be some feedback from the turntable, and this is totally normal. Ive actually heard the music from the needle itself, and is nothing to worry about

Funny thing about analog to digital recording without a preamp. You will record a signal, but that signal might be below the level of human audibility, if the line levels are left at the level that left the turntable, given the absence of a PREAMP.

Try setting the recordsettings of ur soundcard to "record what you hear". This way it will record ALL the sounds that are produced in windows. Warning: this also means that it could record an windows systemsound as well.

Ater spending several hours trying to correct the problem I replaced the USB cord and it worked.

Thank you for your reply.
