Do not connect a turntable directly to your computer. The signal from a turntable is distorted; it must be corrected by passing it through a phono pre-amp or a receiver with a “phono” input. |
I sorted this myself. Have a shitty tower of a stereo and instead of connecting the turntable directly to the laptop I just connected the stereos headphone port to the laptop and it worked like a dream
