    Try different software to start with - Tracktion 5 is free (and likely better than the program that came with the box).

    https://www.tracktion.com/products/t5-daw

    Looking at the specifications of the audiobox, it only has one sample rate so it not be possible to mis-configure anything..

    Try some of the Tracktion demo projects (from the account > download tab) to see if they play back OK.

    It looks like the "mixer" pot allows you to monitor the inputs directly via headphones, without needing to record anything - try that and see if the audio is clean & sounds OK then.

    When recording, make sure the input level control on the box for the channel(s) you are using is as *high* as it can be without overloading; that gives you the best quality and least noise level. Turn any unused input to minimum.

    I'll check for any replies every few hours.
