Can't seem to get stereo signal recorded from stereo mic

Question

Bought creative suite. Bought Blue Yeti Pro mic. Last November I recorded a smal group in stereo.
Tried two weeks ago and only got mono signal from the mic. Finger snaps on opposite sides of mic identical in bloth channels. Three weeks later I hav a nnew mic from Blue Yeti. Same problem. The Yetti is a UUSB mic it has a selector switch for capsule patttern, its in stereo mode. I have uused two cables and two different USB inputs result is the samee both sides of the stereo meter move identicly. Help please.

Also Audition gets a stereo signal if I pic mic array built into laptop as a record source. I just can't imagine my original Yeti miic stopped function after 1 use and the replacement I waited two weeks for has the same problem

There is one other thing you can try which will determine pretty much what is happening, and that is to try making a recording in Waveform view. If you open Waveform view without a file selected, it will prompt you to start a new one, so if you check the box and make sure it's a stereo one, you should be good to go. It will be obvious if it's making a mono file because the two meter bars will be locked together. Can you try that, please?

Can you hear 'stereo' in the headphones connected to the mic?
