If you're getting left channel only then you're getting stereo, not mono.

How many mics do you have connected to your external device? If it's only one mic then it's normal to get sound only on one channel.

usb devices should always be connected before opening audacity, otherwise audacity will fail to find it.

If none of this works for you, would you consider using Jack audio system? Ideally Jack should run on a Real Time Kernel (as in Ubuntu Studio) but I've had Audacity 1.3.12 run well with Jack on a stock Ubuntu installation.

I found that very weird... If...

I take that ppl should be smart enough to, before buying any software on ebay, do a little search on google about it... Then they would easily find out they can download audacity for free... If they're too stupid or lazy to do that, then maybe they deserve to be charged for their dumbness... Distrib...

Have you tried raising the input volume for your mic?
