If all it has is speaker outs, then you can't.

mine ha a headphone out, and recorded out of that, works great.

most [decent] recievers will have at least one line out - just connect that to your soundcards line in and the turntable to the PHONO jack of the reciever.

Originally posted by JohnSmith Very good explanation. 2 things to add though. No, you can't. your turntable puts out a phono signal, your soundcard isn't going to have a phono preamp on it.. not any that i know anyway. maybe i am mistaken? in any case a soundcard would be a lousy place to have your phono preamp anyway, with all the noise in your PC. why would you have a DAC/ADC on your mixer? it recieves analog, and sends analog out, there is no conversion. unless you are using a digital mixer.. which there aren't many that i know of.

I've seen professional recording cards with pretty much every type of output known to man, and I've also seen expansion slot input/output cards that you can piggyback ontop of your soundcard. I saw the latter in this forum about a month or two back, but I don't feel like tracking the post down. There are a couple digital mixers out there, so I included it just incase he was one of the lucky ones
