CXA81 as easy audio interface – solely getting line stage outputs

Hi All. I’m making an attempt to document some vinyl on my laptop computer utilizing the CXA81 as an audio interface. However, I’m solely getting line-level sign coming from both the CXA81’s rca pre-outs or it’s 1/4” headphone jack. The cable I’m making an attempt to make use of is a SKW USB C to 2 RCA. You can verify my entire setup within the pictures. – Alternatively, I get success utilizing a extra difficult setup that features my Volt audio interface, nevertheless it appears overly difficult. Can I get assist to simplify?

*additionally of word is that my laptop is barely permitting mono enter from the SKW cable (regardless that the cable has rcas)

Thanks!
