So many things.

1. Add headphones to the mixer - does any sound come out when you're singing/talking?
2. Is the device fully installed and recognized by Device manager with not error (and drivers up to date).
3. Some desks 'default' to mute and you have to arm them before any sound comes out.
4. Is the gain high enough. If the gain PAD is on it will reduce the gain?
5. Does your microphone require phantom power?
6. Are you using a jack cable or XLR? If jack, then it may 'see' (hear) it as an instrument and therefore the gain will not be high enough.
