Bonjour,
What parameters should be set in Audacity to convert vinyl records using an ION TTUSB05 turntable, and what connections should be made from the turntable to the computer?
Note: I do not have sound feedback through the computer even if I use the dedicated software EZ Vinyl Tap.
Thank you.

You need to connect the turntable to the line-in (or microphone) jack and select that input in Audacity.
Hello
I have a MC CRYPT phono USB 100: I connected the RCA cables to the output, switched to phono, then USB to the PC..
It wasn't working.. where is the error?? Phono and not line??
I also tried using the USB output from the turntable to the PC, same issue...
Knowing that I started with EZ TAPE Converter which automatically sent me to iTunes and there was nothing from Sade..., even though the track was in a file.. but no sound, no title..
Where are the errors...
NB on the back of the turntable: "line" and USB output...
We'll get there... I have about fifteen vinyls waiting...
Thank you!!

I will repeat myself again ............
Connect the 2 RCA outputs of the turntable (via a Jack<-->RCA adapter) to the LINE input of the PC, select LINE as the input in AUDACITY, hit record and ........... it works !!
No USB or EZ Tape with this method

IT WORKS!!! I used the RCA from the TV and the headphones for listening... now I'm adjusting on Audacity to bring Sade's sound back to life and that's it...
thanks and surely with a bit more thought I could have made the connection with the audio output of the mini chain for the turntable... but well, you can't reinvent yourself!!

Hi.
The output signal from the turntable is extremely weak.
You need a phono preamp.
Like this for example:

You read it wrong.
A vinyl turntable delivers a weak signal. Weaker than a cassette player, CD or mp3.
It needs to be amplified further. Hence the specific "Phono" input on amplifiers/preamplifiers, which is always separate from the "Line" input for everything else.
Connecting the turntable directly to the line input of the PC won't give much.
You will have to adjust the input gain and you will mostly amplify noise.
