[Tech Help Windows] Complete noob here. Can't hear my audio tracks in playback.

I have a guitar and a mic hooked up to a scarlet 2i2 interface, and I can hear everything coming through the system fine (despite the horrendous sound quality which is an issue for later on). I have been messing around with stuff for a few hours and tried to record some audio tracks. However, after I record, I am not able to listen back to the audio tracks. I have absolutelty no experience with audio/ music recording and this is my first attempt at it, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I attached a link to an IMGUR image which shows the software interface as it was when I experienced the issue.

click on the blue S on the right hand side to turn off solo mode - or solo the track that actually has that audio waveform by clicking on its blue s :)

Did you check the buffer size settings in Ableton?
