My Behringer mixer Eurorack UB802 doesn't work anymore with condenser microphone like Behringer B-1 ,instead it produces a hissing and pop sound please help me to solve my problems.

Hi, you didn't say if the mic actually passes sound? The C-1 is a condenser Mic & needs phantom power - switch on the rear of your mixer. If that's no help, what happens if you disconnect the mic, then turn the levels back up? Still hissing or gone? If it's gone then it's the Mic - must use a 3 wire cable, preferably XLR so it gets the phantom power. If the hiss is still there without the Mic then sounds like the mixer is faulty - try some of the other channels..... How loau is the hiss - just in the background or as load as a vocal "one, two" test? A few things to check anyway...... Good Luck!
There are a variety of ways to accomplish this, but the two most common ways are:
Purchase a BEHRINGER USB interface -- like a U-CONTROL UCA222. This will allow you to use the USB port for your sound In/Out. This will also require RCA cables to connect from mixer to UCA222 unit.
Or...purchase a dedicated sound card (preferred) like an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 that can be installed in your computer (not for laptop). You will also need I/O RCA cables to connect.
Sounds like the output cable from the 802 is not correctly pinned to your input on the computer. Fred is on the right track but you may need to take it a bit further.
It may also be helpful to use a Pro USB audio interface such as the Digigram UAX220v2 (line level version).
If you wish to use the computer's on board sound card consider an IHF/Pro interface that converts balanced audio to unbalanced , and the proper cables. Two 3-wire balanced 1/4-inch from the 802 to the left and right inputs of the interface (XLR Male), then RCA (Red and White) to a 1/8-inch TRS Plug cable onto the the computers audio input.
Henry Engineering's Matchbox HD comes to mind.
Good Luck.
Bad ground, excess gain, excess number of mixer channels with no inputs, Make sure the mixer inputs you are going to use are the only ones that are up. Power supply noise- flourescent lighting noise, Clamp on ferrites on the power cords of everything can help reduce this. You can sometimes track the offending source with a battery powered AM/MW radio.
It can also be caused by going from a balanced output to an unbalanced input with some impedance differences.
If it buzzes when you have no inputs AND no output leads connected, there is a problem with the power supply... HOWEVER if you have used UNBALANCED output cables instead of the REQUIRED TRS BALANCED output cables, it is possible the noise is being driven backwards and that is what you are hearing. Note that at full gains, there often is a tiny bit of noise, usually hiss. Also make sure the supply is powered from the SAME receptacle as the equipment this drives such as an amp or powered speakers.
Phantom should ONLY be on if using CONDENSER mics or a DI box requiring phantom power... yours should be OFF. cables should be correct. The 2 Trk to mix button should be down.
Check the 5 volts to the FX unit, If the voltage is low, the FX processor will keep reseting generating clicks, In a different product, the 5 volt filter cap was degraded and voltage dipped down to 4.5 volts causing resets.
