 My desktop tower is new. I have a Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 I use for Skype. When I disable it or even unplug it from back of tower, Audacity won't record. Plug it back in or enable it, Audacity records...mono.

 I have the Lifecam plugged into the green jack.
So that's a new one on me. I don't think I've ever seen a green USB jack. :?:

I don't want to waste your time, so at this point I'm going to have to defer to those that have more experience in this area than I have. :(

Sorry for the misunderstanding, the green jack is headphones jack or audio jack. It has 2 other jacks bedside it. A black and a yellow.
