Also, in your Device Toolbar: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/device_toolbar.html, try changing your Audio host between MME and Windows WASAPI and Windows DirectSound. See if you can select all four recording channels with one of them selected.

If not, you may have to use ASIO to see all four channels. Audacity does not "ship" with built in with ASIO support, however it must be compiled in. See viewtopic.php?p=410225#p410225.

There are other Windows software packages that do support ASIO. I believe cakewalk, for example, is free and supports ASIO.

I hope this helps. :D
