Im rather new to the technical side of amplifiers and audio as a whole so i was hoping i could get some help with a few things.
firstly my equipment is as follows
DAC: Behringer UMC22
Amplifier: NUX y30se
Guitar: Aria AK30CETN (ive also tried with my epiphone les paul)
Onto my problems:
when trying to record using Audacity/Cakewalk there is loud white noise/interference (file attached)
It is most pronounced when first running my guitar through my amp and then into the UMC22 however it is also present when i plug my guitar directly into the 1/4' jack input or when i plug my shure SM58 into the xlr input.
The guitar amp is plugged into a different wall outlet than the pc by the way.
As I said, im a total noob when it comes to this kind of stuff and in doing my own research there seems to be many possibilities for what is causing this so im open to try any ideas.
Secondly i would like to use the audio interface to run both my shure sm58 and my guitar into my amp for playing and singing. I am aware that it's better to use proper speakers for singing but I don't currently have any nor can I afford them. I would simply like to know if this is possible, I have tried plugging both my guitar and my mic into the DAC and then taking the output into both the regular and the aux inputs of my amp but nothing seems to work.
sorry for asking so many noob questions (i know i sound like a total idiot) but i am quite inexperienced with all of this and could really use a hand.

I Could not believe the difference in sound quality going from my 16bit to this 24bit recorder. The quality of the built in preamp is better then my external sm pro audio preamp. It worked flawlessly with my Slackware 14.1 64bit and 32 bit Linux setups using ALSA and Audacity. I am using the Behringer UMC22 to plug into the USB port on my PC with Win 10 (64bit). Recording in stereo in Audacity. The driver is the standard USB CODEC. No other drivers installed. The mic channel on the device works great using either the mic or an electric guitar. The instrument channel gives no sound level in Audacity at all. I am trying to record some mixes via audacity through a Behringer umc22. Win10 and audacity recognize the device (win 10 labels it USB audio codec). However when recording audacity doesnt receive any signal. (I can see a signal on the device itself, though). In the win10 sound settings the device itself is show up as Speakers.
