What program are you using to record?
If you want to run direct out of the unit you should run it to a mixer and the mixer out to the mic in on the comp. You can get a small 1 or 2 ch mixer for $20.My Toys:

I would not use the headphone out, I'd use the balanced line level outputs. Most soundcards have a stereo line level input that you can use. However, the MPX looks to have a pro balanced +4 dBu level, while most basic soundcards will expect the consumer -10 dBV unbalanced level. You can convert from balanced to unbalanced and have your levels matching nicely with a LM2U if needed:
