Need help troubleshooting with a Focusrite Scarlett box and Audacity. Complete beginner

My box seems to hear my guitar, but Audacity is picking up nothing. Sometimes it spits out some muffled noises. Kinda sounds like there’s some gate/limit thing and only a couple sounds are pushing through. Tried turning up the volume but Audacity still won’t record anything. If anyone has the time to help me troubleshoot it would be massively appreciated. I’m a beginner and an idiot with technology. Thanks in advance and no worries if not.
