Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones used in Audition audio help

Hello

I chose to have the headphones be the input for the mic in the headphones and output to be the headphones in hardware settings.  When I record, the audio records fine through the headphones but when I go to play the recorded audio I hear nothing.  This happens when I am using the headphones connected to my Windows 10 PC. If I connect the cable to the headphones and to the computer I lose the ability to use the microphone but can hear the audio that was previously recorded through Bluetooth.  How can I get the audio to play through my headphones using the Bluetooth functionality while working in Audition? Thanks for your help!

    I don't know tjhat Audition can use Bluetooth connected devices for playback. What settings are shown in Audition's Audio Hardware set up page for Device Class and Device?

    After a full day of trying some things, here is what had to happen to get the headphones to work.  I had to go into the sound control panel and under the section called Recording I had to disable the headphones as a  recording device.  Once I did that the sound plays just fine through the headphones.  I am using an external microphone for recording.  I don't know why this works but it does for playback being heard through the headphones.  The external mic I have is better than the mic in the headphones.  It would be nice to be able to record and hear the recording through the headphones.  Anyone have a better solution?

    All the better solutions will involve using an external sound device. The reason that they will be better is simple; Windows won't be able to interfere with your choice of input and output!

    With an external device, it's much easier to choose appropriate inputs and outputs. The only snag you would have is that, for instance, to use the headset mic and headset for both recording and listening, you may have to use a split lead (separate the input and output) to achieve this, as actual headset sockets on external devices don't tend to exist as such. Well, not on domestic equipment, anyway.

    So yes it's possible to improve on most things - but at a cost...
