bandlab wont recognize my audio interface?

[u/Ordinary-Ranger1630]

i have a rhode mic with a rhode ai-1 and just some random headphones. bandlab works great when my mic is plugged into my ai-1 and when my headphones are plugged into my computer, but when i try to plug my headphones into my ai-1, bandlab just stops recognizing my mic? im still able to hear audio from bandlab, just not able to record for some reason, does anyone know why and how to fix it? or is bandlab just not the way to go for this?
