Oh I guess I have a different model. My turntable is a Newmark TTUSB (no 
x). It's the cheaper model.

I don't have 7.10 installed. I have 6.06 LTS installed. I just tried it 
again. Success! It worked.

I also have a USB music keyboard. I can't remember if I read this about 
the keyboard or the turntable but with one of them, the device had to be 
plugged in and turned on when you booted up. My computer wouldn't 
recognize them if you plugged it in after booting.

In Audacity, my input is "line" I went to Audacity's preference and 
selected Audio I/O. There were two choices listed under both Playback 
and Recording. The default didn't work for recording so I selected the 
other choice and it recorded. My playback and my record devices are 
different. Also in Preferences on the I/O page I selected to have the 
sound playback while recording. I clicked on the monitor switches. 
That's it. It recorded.
