Using a Rodecaster Pro II connected to a Macbook Pro Laptop, NO AUDIO

Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help me.  I am using a Rodecaster Pro 2, connected with a Shure SM7B microphone, and the Rodcaster Pro2 is connected via usb c in port 1, directly to my macbook.  when i run the tests, I am on Rodecaster Pro 2 Chat, and all the checks work flawlessly, as soon as i get on a call, neither myself nor my audience can hear me.  I end up having to shutdown and go directly into my airpods for speaker and microphone.  Does anyone have a fix for this?  Thank you.  Yes, I have checked mute everytime and I am not muted and neither is my audience.
