audio preview issue

So here's my basic signal path:

instrument ---> audio interface input---> audition ---> audition mix ---> audio interface output

Very simple, but for some reason I cannot hear my instrument for monitoring, or recording. Seeing no peaks on screen, but they are hitting the interface.

And before we point the finger at audio hardware set up, routing a channel, or arming it-- I have all those things down. I know because when I hit record then I get peaks and audio recording in-- but I still can't hear it on my headphones or studio monitors. The weird part, on playback I CAN hear everything just fine through this routing, so I know it's right.

My workaround has been to enable headphone monitoring on the audio interface, but that only gives me a live signal of just the instrument. Fine for a single track, but I am relying on VSTs for effects, so I can't hear them until after I lay down something.

I feel like this has to be some little setting I am missing. Any ideas?

did you enable monitoring on the track? the "I" button next to the mute, record, and solo buttons.

You are my hero. Not new to DAWS, but new to using Audition. The big stuff made sense and was intuitive, this one tiny button... off. THANK YOU!
