Stereo mics (usually) use mic level inputs just the same as ordinary mono microphones. They will often use the same kind of mini-jack as an ordinary mono computer microphone (with tip, ring and sleeve connections). Whereas a normal mono computer microphone uses the tip and the sleeve for the microph...

I did a little bit of Googling, and all that anyone says is that mic inputs are usually mono and that they might send a bit of power to the microphone. That's correct. There is usually a 5v supply on one of the contacts. The current should be limited to no more than a couple of milliamp so it is un...

Well that's me out of ideas. I'll see if I can find an expert to ask about this.

You're welcome, but it's not really "my" software - I've only contributed about 12 lines to the code and even then one of the developers had to make a couple of corrections to it :D In a sense, Audacity belongs to everyone. I just help out here on the forum because I love the program, I us...

You probably mean that channel mapping doesn't work in the ASIO version, because using the "standard " Audacity I can select any of my inputs. No, actually I meant with the standard build. Your device must have exceptionally well behaved drivers because usually that does not work :) How c...
