Rode Mic not working in Audition but works perfectly in Windows 10 Voice recorder

Incredibly frustrating problem. The Rode microphone I'd like to use works perfectly in the Microsoft in built voice recorder but not in Audition. Checked preferences etc but nothing works that I can see. Is this yet another argument between Adobe and another tech company?

No, it isn't any sort of argument at all. What we need here is plenty more information, otherwise we simply can't help you. What mic is it, and how is it connected to Audition? Is it via an ASIO driver or using MME? How does it register in Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware? And are you trying to use it in Multitrack or Waveform view? If it's Multitrack then there are other steps you have to take before it will record on any given track anyway.

Additional note: if I create a new recording but just an "Audio File..." Audition does recognise the microphone. But not in a new Multi Track recording.

Several things: If it's plugged straight into the laptop, then there's no way ASIO is involved! So MME it is. If it works in Waveform view and not in Multitrack, all that indicates is that you haven't set the Multitrack track you want to record on to use it as the correct input. Here are some clues:

and when you've done that and selected it, you have to do this:

Then to start recording, just hit the Record button on the transport controls at the bottom.
