Dual Mono Instead Of Stereo

Question

I have a problem maybe someone can help me with:

I have Audition Version 6 and am running Windows 7. When I try to live record sounds from say.. You Tube that is clearly stereo, it records it in dual mono.

When I ask it to record a "New"/Audio File.the box opens up and I insert the name and sample rate of 44100. It automatically shows stereo and bit dept of 32(float). Then I hit "OK"..... When I hit record it starts recording fine, but you can tell by the display level meters it is clearly recording dual mono.

The sound coming thru the speakers is clearly stereo buy it's recording dual mono not stereo. Even music with a lot of separation between channels, the left and right lever meters stays exactly at the same recording levels!

I updated my sound card and HD audio device, and still no change....(When I import a stereo track it acts normal b.t.w, and plays in stereo)

Any help would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end!

These ones are always difficult, as generally it's not an Audition issue at all, but your OS that causes this. Audition is very good at recording exactly what it's sent, and that sounds to be what it's doing in your case. For a start, I suggest running the audio troubleshooter, and seeing if it can find anything amiss... it may well just be an audio setting.
