You don't need to use a capture card to record sound. Just plug into your
sound cards line in and use a sound recording program. You can set the
recording level.

Nero and CD Creator have applications that do this.

why are you plugging it into a *video* capure card ?

just plug it into the line in on your sound card....
also, turn down the output volume on your turntable
also volume for line in

Can you plug a turntable straight into a soundcard? It's been a long time
since my vinyl record days, but I know that every turntable I owned had a
ground wire that had to be hooked up to my amp. Otherwise all I'd hear is a
loud hum. JLC

about as much as you can plug it into a video capture card lol
the headphone jacks which soundcards use have left, right, earth connectors
in them i think

This is the first time I've ever heard of someone wanted to jack a turntable
straight into their PC. I'd run it through my amp then run the amp into my
soundcard. A turntable was a very low line level volume. I just don't know
how it would work. I'd really like to hear from guys that have done it. TIA.

If the turntable has a built-in pre-amp in/phono out switch, set the switch
to pre-amp in, and connect it directly to the soundcard in jack. Works
fine.

Thanks for the link. It's been a lot of years since I had to deal with a
turntable, but I do know you have to have some type of preamp between the
turntable and the PC. JLC

Audio video receivers these days don't even have the option for a turntable.
When I replaced mine it blew me away to find out a receiver with like 100+
connectors on the back had no turntable connections.
There voice tech support says I need some kind of pre amp (forgot) and use a aux
or vcr/tape-3 input for my turntable. grrrr

You may be able to do that if the turntable has a ceramic cartridge but it
may not be enough amplification for a magnetic cartridge.
With everyone going to Dolby it shouldn't be difficult to find a used
receiver with a phono input for cheap. Less than buying a new preamp I would
think. Come to think of it my old receiver could be used as an input switch
too.

Ah, that makes me even more happier with my Philips FR-995 ;-) Indeed one of
the very few modern DTS receivers that still featured a phono in...
