Mike:

I'm probably not much help here as I don't use that function but can you confirm:

- when you click the "Record Audio" red icon, "Track type is ..." shows Mono
- when you then click the "Audio Options" button, both "Audio Track Type for THIS song" and "Preferred default track type for new songs" are both set to Mono
- in that Audio Settings window, what is your "Audio Driver Type" set to? MME?

Let us know. I'm sure someone will be able to help.
Thanks!
