Okay, I think you have already looked at this, but here is what I have seen. If I have my monitor connected with an HDMI cable the sound system automatically thinks there are speakers on the monitor and switches the output to those non-existent speakers. I have to open the PulseAudio Volume Control and go to configuration and choose off for that HDMI audio device. The same thing might be happening with your USB turntable. PulseAudio might think it is an output device.
