Input devices shown as "none" on every type despite what I try (Direct connect)

I enabled Direct Connect in RSmods, yet it shows having no input device (using aux to usb cable). I've tried using Nocable as well. Nothing works.

Here is the list of things I've tried/checked

• Plugging into different USB ports
• Nocable
• Checking the sample rate
• Disabling all other microphone devices etc
• Enabling direct connect in rsmods
• Checking that the cable actually works (it does)
• Making sure that apps have access to my microphone etc
• Closing all other applications

I've tried getting it to work through the microphone option or realtone cable, but literally nothing works and i've been trying to fix this problem for ages. any help? issue might be with my rs.ini because i haven't seen any solutions online that say to change it.
