In addition, it's only my recordings with Audacity which are mono. So, I think 2.0.5 done it.

In addition, other audio software, EZ Vinyl Tape Converter, tells me, when I open it, my computer is set to mono?? How a rolling new computer on Vista Can be set to mono?? Moreover, it's only my recordings with Audacity which are mono.

It sounds like Audacity is completely incompatible to a mobile phone.

If you are not sure what version of Windows you are on, you can go to System in the Windows Control Panel to find out.

We can't help you if you won't co-operate by answering questions and trying out what we ask you to try out.

Are you saying that EZ records your vinyl in stereo, in spite of it telling you that your recording device is set to mono?

Tell us what type of turntable you have. Does it connect to the computer with a USB cable? Is the turntable made by Ion?

If yes, and you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7 or Windows 8, connect the turntable to the computer. Right-click over the Speaker icon by the system clock then choose "Recording Devices".

In the window that opens, right-click over USB Audio Codec > "Properties".

In the window that opens, click the "Advanced" tab. In the "Default Format" section, make sure the drop-down menu is set to "2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz". Click OK and OK.
