Sound Sample Below

Hi,
This is my first time recording with an audio interface and I'm finding it very stressful....
I was struggling with this problem for the whole day!!! please help :(
when I play and record guitar in clean channel, it turns out to be really distorted.. (Sound Sample Above)
I tried to find out what's wrong... but I have no idea.
I found out that when I play, the dB level needle shoots to the maximum point.
I tried to lower the output, but it's the same whether the output is 0 or max. Is this normal? What's the purpose of the output knob?
Also, after playing a note/chord for a second, the needle drops down again, so the recording cuts off quickly. No sustain.
When I play a note lightly, it doesn't even catch it.
I am really frustrated.
I doubt(try not to believe) that my UX2 is broken because this was in "like new" condition in an open box; the previous owner never used it.
But still, could this be a mismanufactured product? the dB measuring and the output levels... are just so weird!
Really tired and lost..
Please help! :( I would really appreciate it.. Thank you
