Now I have to ask the obvious question - two actually, first you did plug it into the power socket and not the headphone socket - I think nearly all of us has made that mistake and second, have you checked that it does give 12v at the plug (barrel = negative, hole = positive).
Rectifying the first is obvious and if there is no voltage then the unit is faulty and should be returned.

Haha. No, I didn't plug it into the headphone socket (this time, anyway...)
I used to have a meter to test these things but it is probably wherever the original power cord is... It might be defective but for 8 bucks it's too much trouble to return.
I bought the Hosa from Amazon and it is working fine.
