Vibelink and Ultra with turntable phono input

[Lucanorillo]

Hello. I'm trying to connect a turntable to my WiiM Ultra and VibeLink amp setup.
I connect the turntable via the grounded phono output to the grounded phono input on the Wi-Fi Ultra.
The Ultra is connected to the VibeLink via a digital cable.
In the app, I select the MM phono input.
I can only hear through one of the speakers; the other has a latent, electrical sound.
Any ideas on what I should change?

If you swap the left and right RCA plugs from the turntable does the sound come from the opposite speaker?

I've tried what you're telling me, and I've found that no audio signal is coming out of the turntable's red output.
I don't understand any of this. Could it be the needle, the cartridge, or the turntable's electronics?
Thanks.

Could just be a connection problem inside the red RCA plug. Is it a new turntable?

It is an old but never used Fonestar SF2500Q turntable.

You can normally unscrew the red plastic part of the plug to inspect the wires inside the plug.

Since that turntable has RCA sockets you can simply revert the plugs at both ends to check wether the cable is defective or the record player:

Connect the white plug to the red socket and the red plug to the white socket at the Ultra and at the turntable.

If the error moves from right to left then the cable is the issue. => Solution Use a different cable (as short as possible).
If the error stays in the same channel as before there's probably something wrong with the turntable itself. => Next step: Check the cable clips which connect the tonearm wiring with the pickup cartridge.
