Only right channel is recording

I too am having a similar problem on the Mac while recording podcasts. I want to record my audio on the left channel, and Skype audio on the right channel so that I can adjust levels separately. Now with 2.0.2, I can't because Audacity will no longer record in stereo.

Thanks

Audacity > Preferences > Devices > Recording > Stereo. Close and restart Audacity.

See how that works.

If it doesn't work, we did find a Skype recorder for the Mac. It's eCamm
