Adobe Audition Driver ClusterF***

So I've tried talking to Adobe about this and after they went through all the basics did you restart the program/check your drivers/reinstall the program they disconnected from me on the online text chat thing. So.

I recently used an H6 recorder in ASIO on Adobe Audition to record and listen to myself at the same time with low latency, with multiple inputs, it didn't work very well (still to much latency and the audio quality was bad coming out of the aux out on the H6), this involved downloading two different drivers from their website but at least in worked to some extent. However, ever since when I go back to MME audio will not play out of my Realtek audio driver. If I plug in an HDMI and play the sound through NVIDIA High Definition Audio i get sound coming out of the monitor. If i do Realtek out through ASIO it plays through AUX out or speakers on my computer but then I can't use my Blue Snow Mic and the same time. Also if I change my computers audio driver from Realtek to High Definition Audio Device it also works in MME however the quality there is much less and for some reason I get popping noises randomly and when I start listening to any audio or when I occasionally click (I've tried changing the Sample Rate and it didn't help).

Additional notes,

With Realtek as the driver Audition does "play", the time scrubber moves just like it should, just no audio comes out

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming, with up to date drivers and windows 10.

I've gone to Realtek website and downlowed the newest driver fresh, did not help.

When Realtek is in ASIO it defaults to 44100 sample rate and doesn't work, however when I change this to a sample rate of 48000 i start getting audio out through my laptop aux out and speakers.

The the best of my knowledge I have uninstalled both H6 drivers and reinstalled Audition with a cleared cache and preferences or whatever multiple times,

I guess I haven't said it outright but my goal is to have Audition play audio out in MME with Realtek as the audio driver or High Definition Audio Device as the driver if i can solve that popping noise. If neither of these work, If I could spoof my computer into thinking my USB mic is my onboard mic then I imagine ASIO set to Realtek would work then.

I've spends days and days trying to fix this so any advice would be awesome.
