Normally you would set the number of channels in the Device Toolbar: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Device_Toolbar
9/10 questions are answered in the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

If this is still a problem, download the correct LAME v3.99 .3 here:

Dear Gayle,

Thank-you very much, I Guess the "Lame 3.99" works best with the latest version of "Audacity"! The :D CD that came with my record player only had the Version. 1.2! My records never sounded better, No Scratches and I can even amplify the volume before saving ,

Thank-you once again!

Stephan :D

Audacity 2.x (and 1.3.7 and later in the previous Beta series) need LAME to be built with sufficient features (symbols) or they won't accept LAME. This is so that the MP3 exports with reasonably correct metadata and correctly reported playing time, and so on.

You can always get a full featured LAME from the links we give, but versions of LAME downloaded elsewhere may not have enough features turned on.
