Issues with feedback and using inserts in cubase

Hi,

I recently got a Cubase 14 starter pack which came with a Steinberg UR12 USB audio interface. I can plug my guitar into the interface and equally my headphones. I have then selected the interface in my studio set up and inserted a track selecting mono input and stereo output. However, once I have done this i can only ever get the raw guitar sound on cubase. When I open VST amp rack or any other effect the effects never apply to my track and I get a constant loud ringing in my headphones.

Can someone please help me, because this has driven me insane for the last month.

Open the control panel and turn off loopback. That should stop the feedback (constant ringing)
Turn off the direct monitor button on the front (to mute dry signal)
