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.

Hello and thank you for your quick reply. The microphone is a Rode Videomic Go - I use it as the mounted microphone for my Canon 90 DSLR camera. I've plugged it straight into the Omen hp laptop - Windows 10 (updated as per Microsoft recommendations). I don't know if it is MME or an ASIO connection. In preferences the following two options are shown under MME at Default Input: Microphone Array (Realtek (R) Audio)  or  Stereo Mix (Realtek(R) Audio). The option to "Use machine-specific device defaults" is checked.  When I create a new Multi Track recording, no sound what so ever is registered by Audition - whether or not I change the Input through preferences.
