Assuming you've installed the Audacity software, first check your recording device. If you use Windows, first check the Audio Control Panel. For Windows 7, click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound. Under Sound, click on the Manage Audio Devices link. In that window, click on the Recording tab. Select the USB option and make it the active device.
In Audacity, you may also need to make sure that this is the recording device that is active. That should be the third drop down from the left in the Device Toolbar. (If it isn't visible, click View > Toolbars and check it.) The Device Toolbar is right above the recording trace section in my version of Audacity.
Now click Record (the red circle) and start your turntable. Do you see a change in the trace? You should see a flat line for up to 10 seconds and then see this change to a set of high and low values.
If you don't get this, check if your USB ports are working. If you use a USB hub, try a direct connection. Check the device manager under Universal Serial Bus for a triangle with a red x or a yellow triangle. Try updating the driver by right clicking on the device. Also check Windows Update (for an optional update) or your computer manufacturer site for a new driver.
Unfortunately with the USB, you can't hear the recording as it is made. Do a short recording and then stop it. Then play back the selection. Adjust the input volume level lower if your trace is hitting the top of the box. This is clipping and your recording won't include the full signal from your record.
I've used Audacity for recording cassettes through the line in port. You can do this with some turntables if you add a pre-amplifier and use RCA to 3.5 mm adapter. Connect to the line in on the back of the desktop (blue).
If you could not install Audacity, go to
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to get a version that works on your computer's OS.
I hope this helps.

Audio Recorder 2.0 have got the CD & ***********
reload the app, from CD
or if that fails, do so and uses compatibility mode.
as MS tells you.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/For...
, this is told how to do this on 10000 of web sites, MS or technet. endless.
if still fails, ask the maker that went dead.
I have got you meant?
the do the compat mode in w7,8 or 10
tell us XP SP2 or SP3 mode.
version 2 is not for W7 it is for XP
so we simply install it in
XP to w7 mode.
simple as that, but can still fail.
only trying can work.
not all software made for XP runs on newer OS
that is a fact. some fail or fail 1/2 way.
only the maker can cure failed.
nobody else. (beyond compat mode)
reload it in compat mode.
if the maker supports this thing ask them for support software, w10.
do not use scalpers or hackers software
you will be sorry doing that, those pretending to be the original.
What is compat mode please .
read the 5 comments I told you.
in windows , we can run older software
on w10, (1example)
the answer is at microsoft, I told you already that .
here it is again.
get the APPlication program installer.
put it in a folder on the PC,
1: remove the old app first. using
control panel "Programs"
2: to the folder with your application.
in folder or the CD original
the right click the install.exe file
click troubleshoot compatibility.
if this fails then force it.
right click again. same install file
pick Admin box and pick XP SP3.
your program is old and is XP
and needs SP2 or 3 to run, not year 2001 XP
do not pick XP only. SP3 is best. here.
best I can tell lacking facts from defunct maker.
here is your answer, at MS
millions ask a day, and same deal, same reasons.

GOOGLE HITS
170MILION HITS.
ON TOPIC.
AMAZING NOT 2 BILLIONS.
THE BOX WITH THE CD V2 SHOWS.
Operating System: Windows XP / Windows Vista
CLEAR AS DAY.
BUT SP2 XP IS MIN.
SERVICE PACK 2 OR 3, NOT LESS.
RELEASED DATE
October 29, 2008
VERSION 2, IF V2 FAILS BUY V3.
Why use it at all and not free.https://www.audacityteam.org/download/?f...
no need told, what you are doing
any top app batter can do .
you have antique cassette tapes, do tell?
tell what job there is to do and we can tell better choices, some are free.
folks running 2008 software may not be best served with that old software NOW.
even free things.
as in what's up DOC.
one other reason for THAT block
is the old 2008 app, tries to call home
to the makers web site.(or autoupdate mode)
and is now gone or is old HTTP: site not modern HTTPS: and all modern browsers block that. now. for sure
EDGE,CHROME or Firefox v84
i can not see your screens to wax smarter, not me.
