You should provide more information.

Exactly which version of Audacity (look in Help menu > About Audacity)?
Which version of Windows?
What are you trying to record from?
Is your recording device enabled in the Windows Control Panel?
What settings do you have for the recording device?
Any other relevant information

Microphone plugged into the Xenyx mixer channel number 1 with XLR lead?
Does the microphone require "phantom power"? If so, do you have phantom power switched on?
Do you have a signal on the mixer's level meter when you speak into the microphone? (If it's a green>amber>red LED meter it should register up to the top of the green section but not light the red).
Which output of the mixer do you have connected to the USB interface?
Does the USB interface have a headphone socket? If it does, can you hear the microphone from the USB interface headphone socket?
