When writing to disk, the precision (granularity) of the time stamp depends on the file system.
NTFS (Windows) has a maximum (at best) resolution/ranularity of 100 ns.
FAT had a granularity of 2 seconds
For ext4 (Linux) it's 1 ns
And to add more, ext3 and Mac HFS+ are 1 second.

The NTFS granularity (if you can access it in the file manager) is sufficient to recover stereo Audacity recordings in the correct channel order.
