No audio

[EntityMumu]

A little background:
I have A Shure SM7B microphone, a dbx286s preamp, and a Scarlet Focusrite Solo.

I talk vocally through discord and everyone I speak with can hear me clearly. Recently I decided to try my hand at voice overs and to apply a filter layer over previous audio recordings. However whenever I try to record directly through auditions it does not detect my audio at all. I have read posts about making sure I have an "R" turned on, the audio hardware, and several others involving proper window settings and yet I still can't seem to have it pick up any audio.  

I thought at first that maybe I needed to up the db threshhold on my preamp so I turned everything up a few times for several attempts until everything was max and there was still no detection.

Two things: have you selected an appropriate input on the track you're trying to record to? It's easy to select the wrong one and still have it go into record. The second thing is that even though the Scarlett is supposed to be USB class-compliant (so it's not supposed to need a driver), there actually is one available - might be worth trying that.

I will look into it once I am home again. I know I had the correct input selected as I had an issue with input/output when setting everything up on Discord, so I was sure to double check that first thing on the set up for auditions. I will definitelt go check the scarlet drivers and try from there. 

Hopefully that is all that I need, because I spent an hour last night reading post after post and watching Youtube videos trying to find a solution.

I looked for the driver and installed it to no avail. After tinkering more, I found that if I record in Stereo it will detect my audio, but nothing is detected if I record in mono. Do you have any recommendation on how I may fix this?
