I take output from my amp/turntable into my sound card and use Audacity to digitize it and write an appropriate sound file. I also monitor the sound using Audacity by telling it to also route the sound to my speakers. The point of all of this is that I think you need a piece of software (Audacity is probably overkill) to receive the input and play it back via the output. You don't mention any "playback" software.
