First post here so hi first of all.
I found this site while browsing for answers when I was having problems getting my home equipment to work, after having a look around it seems like alot of people here would have the info I've been looking for some time, so hopefully some of you can help me out.
About a year and a half ago I bought a mixer and studio microphone. I bought both from gear4music.com, and before buying I told their staff what I wanted and they then suggested which stuff to buy. Basically I wanted to record my voice over music, which would be on software on my laptop. They suggested the mixer I currently have and I chose the microphone myself.
In that year and a half I've never gotten any of it to work, presumably because I really don't know that much about sound equipment. It would be hard to type so below I'll post a labelled picture of my set up:

I can't put the H-t-t-p tag to the beginning of that link cos I don't have 5 posts.
Anyhow there you can see how things are connected, the two connections for the USB device which are in the mixer are located on the 'Output' side, and the two connections in the USB device itself are also in 'Output', a USB lead then connects that box above the mixer to my computer.
The problem I'm having is, I can't hear any sound thats being played from my computer, and I also can't seem to record to the software on my laptop, at the moment all I've managed to do is be able to hear what I'm saying into the microphone played back through the head phones.
If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
