Unable to add audio to multiple track timelines

Hello all!

 

My son has been working on a project and is unable to get the mic icon on subsequent timelines to appear bright which then allows for adding audio. I've attached a pic below showing how one track allowed for adding audio, but the others have a dim mic icon which doesn't allow it.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

The tracks are 5.1 and wont work with a mic which is usually mono (or stereo).

Thanks Ann! I apologize for my ignorance, but what would he do to correct that? Where would I be able to change out of 5.1 to mono or stereo if that's appropriate for use with a mic?

 

Thanks again in advance!
