virtual audio cable not working windows 10

I have to uncheck the 'Listen to device' and recheck the same box every time I am launching the app responsible for the base audio output. in this case im using virtual cables and an EQ audio program ultimately listening to the output of the EQ on this device. I have to do a similar to thing as with the other issue. The other issue im having is in the sound device manager and its to do with the 'Listen to this device' box in the Properties menu for a Recording device. but i have to repeat this every program launch. I have to set it to another random device and then back and works. The first step is to access the Windows Device Manager, for this it is.

Its set to the correct device whenever i open this window, however the program plays on the default playback device. If Voicemod Audio Cable Driver has been installed in error and is not working.

I am running a program that does not play back on the apparently assigned setting in the App Volume and Device Preferences. I am having issues pertaining to both the sound device manager window and with the 'App Volume and Device Preferences' window in settings (to change per-app audio device)
