Can't find the right setting for my microphone

Hi, hopefully I can find some help here as I can't seem to find an answer through googling.
I'm starting a podcast and thought I would use Audition as my recording software seeing as it comes as part of the Suite. I'm 100% brand new to it but have been able to figure out a bit from going through the forums and what not. My issue is that the audio output seems to be corrupted from my microphone. I have a Rode VideoMic Pro that I've grabbed off my camera and I know it is working for input as I can see the waveform but, when I playback or export, the audio seems to be corrupted. I think I'm missing a setting or driver somewhere because I can record just fine in Audacity with WASAPI. In Audition, I have to change to MME for it to work, but having lower latency seems to be a good idea so I'd like to be able to record using WASAPI here as well.

If anyone has any thoughts on what to try, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Here is an example: audition - Google Drive

This is what my Audio Hardware looks like.

I'm not in the slightest bit surprised that you have a corrupted recording with the latency set to 10ms! Try recording again with it set to 200ms and see if that makes a difference...

    The slowest option that Audition shows me while using WASAPI is 100ms, but I can get 200ms with MME. Would it make that much of a difference to use MME?

    Well try setting it at the highest you can get with the WASAPI driver which is 100ms then.
