Getting started with Easy Rec

Hi. New user here and I'm new to all this so please go easy on me, haha. I'm trying to use vinylripper 1.1.4. I've bought Easy Rec and set it up exactly how i'm supposed to, using the simple guide in the user manual (turntable - input U-Rip22 - laptop) and (Output U-Rip22 - mixer). However, the dB meter in Vinyl Ripper is not registering anything at all, and nor is my mixer on the output? If i listen through headphones on the mixer, i can just about hear the vinyl playing (very faint) but thats with the mixer gain turned right up! For info, the LED is permanently green regardless of what i do to the input gain control.
I'm clearly doing something wrong, but i have no idea what? This should be a simple set-up but yet i can't get it to work?
P.S. I have been to the download centre on this site and downloaded Easy Rec 1.1.2. I think i've tried everything and it hasn't helped so now i'm going to need some technical assistance. If someone could help me that would be great!
