Yep, yep and yep...I tried everything but based on some feedback from Brian and Brook, I know think it was my adapter. it was working for my handheld mic but that is mono and my Rode is stero, so I think that may be part of the issue based on what they are saying. But I am thinking I may just need to buy a XLR mic and be done with it....man, I really liked my Rode Mic it does a great job....
