All of the moderators have the power to close topics when they reach a conclusion.
We very much prefer to have one issue per thread. Due to the technical nature of this forum, it quickly becomes very confusing when there are multiple issues added into one thread.
Your post here looks very much like the topic has reached a satisfactory conclusion https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/stereo-recording-is-only-on-1-track/58949/11
I have reopened the topic at your request.
