you dont need a soundcard . your USB interface IS asound card. dose it have phantom power? (if you dont know, google it and find out)

you should be able to go into your audio hardwareset up in the recording software, and select the USB interface as your recording device. then arm a track for recording and hit record. you should be good to go
 
The tascam will work as your audiocard/interface. make sure it is set up as your default audio device in your computer. hook up your speakers if they are powered(Like Computer Speakers) or the input of your amp (if you are using one) to the tascam's output. plug the mic into the tascam using an xlr mic cable. turn the phantom power on the tascam on. !!!make sure the phantom power is OFF before you plug in or unplug the mic!!!!!

We must have been typing at the same time.

Are you going into a left stereo input and coming out no the left side of a stereo track? if you are you need to send the left stereo input to a mono channel and you will hear it out of both speakers.

i think your problem is that you've selected a stereo track for recording. but its not a stereo microphone. you're recoding on a mono signal into a stereo track. so that will make you track have "left side only" recording. there should be an option to switch it in you audio hardware or track set up.
