I want to use my AirPods as an in-ear monitor when my Input is a USB sound card

I have a USB sound card (ROCCAT Juke) and it will be my sound source for a Zoom session. I want to use my AirPods as an in-ear monitor. My Sound Input is the ROCCAT Juke. My Output is my AirPods. I can hear stuff like an mp3 that my computer is playing. But I can't hear Input from the ROCCAT Juke. Any ideas?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.13
