Troubleshooting
No Sound?
Software Notes
If you cant get any sound to play through the software, you need to make
sure you have selected the USB input for the recording device. This setting
is found under preferences.
If you can see the music play on the screen but cant hear it, make sure the
Playback Device is set to the internal soundcard.
If you cant hear any sound as the record is playing, click on the microphone
and select Monitor Input.
Poor Sound Quality?
If your recording sound is distorted or unclear, try adjusting the Input Level
to a lower level.
Inspect the needle to make sure it is correctly positioned on the tone arm.
The Crosley USB Turntable will work with any software that supports a USB
Audio Device. If you prefer to use software other than the included Audacity
software; there are a variety of software packages available.
Audacity is free software, distributed under the General Public License
(GPL). More information, as well as open source code, can be found on the
included CD or on the web at http://audacity.sourceforge.net.
Audacity works on both Windows (98 and greater) as well as Mac OS
