Other Important Macintosh Settings:
We have set up Audacity’s separate playbac and record preferences, but your Mac also has
its own audio playbac and record settings. When you first connect the turntable, the
Macintosh will often select the “USB Audio Codec” as the audio input and output for your entire
system. Since your turntable does not have spea ers, audio will not be heard from your other
programs until you tell your Mac not to use the turntable as an output device.
Here’s how to change these settings so that your internal sound card will always be used for
playbac , whether or not your turntable is connected via USB:
The Audio Midi Setup Utility:
1 Open your inder.
2 Open your Applications folder.
3 In the Applications folder, open the Utilities folder.
4 In the Utilities folder, open the Audio MIDI Setup.

10
5 In the Audio MIDI Setup under Audio Devices, set: The Default Input to USB Audio
Codec The Default Output to Built-in Audio or Built-in Output The System Output to
Built-in Audio or Built-in Output.
Now, programs other than Audacity will only use your internal sound card for audio output.
