I want to have two audio tracks (stereo), in the first channel - a microphone, in the second - speakers.

the only thing i havent tested is the usb connector from the uca202 that goes into the laptop, is there a way of checking that is not damaged and is working correctly? You can't really test that because it's built into the UCA 202 (non-removable), but yes it's possible that could be the cause of th...

I read that line in the manual and I don't understand why that's in the manual because we're talking apples and oranges.

No, it's talking about oranges. There's no mention of apples.

compared to the youtube music I download, recording the stream is much better. It depends on how the download is done. Websites that offer a download version will often produce better quality in the download than is available through streaming. YouTube does not provide downloads, so downloading is ...
