Usually these devices are designed to allow your iMac to record the sound from the album. They typically are not designed to turn your iMac into a stereo receiver.

That being said... have you checked System Preferences -> Sound? Try setting the input to the turntable and output to your speakers.

You may have to use something like Audacity.

Thanks, I forgot about that part. I use Sound Studio to actually record it to the Mac (while it's hooked up with the iMic).

It sounds like you are using an analog turntable. The OP is using a USB turntable.

You are correct - I overlooked that part (USB) completely.
