I have a Sterling h224, interface recorder & I'm having difficulty, getting it to function, is anyone out there have any experience with this?I'd greatly appreciate any advice, thanks!

Not that exact unit but something similar.
That's an audio mixer that connects to the computer via USB.
Mine came with a disc.
Have you connected it to your computer and loaded the software ?

Yes, my issue is I'm able to record a soundtrack, but can't mix my singing voice with the track, & I took back to store & the guy said I have too many files in the background on laptop interference, does this sound logical to you? Thanks for your reply!

Well I don’t know what anyone else thinks, but to me that doesn’t seem to make any sense at all. I don’t know what “files in the background” would mean. Maybe he meant too much other software running on the laptop in the background while the h224 App(s) were running, and that software was interfering somehow with the h224 App(s).
That could slow down performance of the h224 App(s), but I don’t see how that would completely eliminate a combining function. I could understand a poor “real time” performance somehow if the laptop processor was overloaded, but I don’t see how a function could just be dropped.
But maybe I don’t understand the device. Maybe it’s very sensitive to which inputs it pays attention to. (But that seems farfetched I guess.)

I agree.... that explanation makes absolutely no sense.
That unit is used to convert analog signals to digital so that a program can use the digital signal.
You would need to be running a program where you'd import a music track and import the digital signal from the audio interface. Some type of digital mixer program.

I left you a link to NCH. This an Australian based company that has great products at a good price. They also supply very good technical service. I use several of their products and have been 100% satisfied.
NCH software
Although I have never used it.... Audacity is supposed to be very good.
I believe it's open source and free. Might be a good place to start.

You need to record the mic audio into the computer as a file.
What O/S are you using ?
Here's a tutorial for recording in W10 and how to record mic audio in Audacity.

I have not used Audacity for a while but years ago, I was able to overlap audio. Like PJMax has mentioned, did you plug your microphone into the mic jack (pink) of your computer?

You can try to plug your mic into the pink jack and your Sterling h224 (output) into the blue jack of the computer sound board. Audacity should be able to record both from the Pink and Blue jacks.
