Mic works everywhere but Audition.

I don't get levels, it doesn't record, nada.  (See settings in pic)  I've tried the clock as the mic and the external headphones, nada.  I've restarted Audtion, I've restarted my computer, nada.  Naturally, customer support that is 24/7 at their number just refers you here on the weekends.  I need to figure this out and its driving me nuts cuz I'm dead in the water with my work till its figured out!  😞
