No sound in right input/output meter

I have Windows 7 and I’m using Steinberg CI1 plugged into a mic and I cant seem to get sound out of the right output/input meter i can unplug the input and plug it into the other socket on the CI1 to get sound out of the right meter but then the left dosent work
how can I fix this?

Plug the mic intp channel 1 (left) and set Audacity to record “1 channel mono” http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Device_Toolbar
