Help: No Audio to apps

i have been trying to use a virtual audio cable and audition to do some real time voice EQ/compression/deesser and i can get the audio to work just fine in adobe and i can hear it in adobe, but when trying to use it as a real time editior and push said sound out to apps such as OBS and Discord i get 0 audio. My hardware settings are setup properly (as ive watched / read 5-10 different guides on this now) and still no audio is being pushed out of Audition.
