I have recently begun adding lead guitar to the audio channel of my songs. I plug the guitar into the #1 channel and begin recording with ASIO. I have all the settings correct but when the recording is done, it comes out as mono. Is this a known problem? I have chatted with Henry Clarke about this and he said he has had the same results. No problems with the headsets, as all other tracks are in stereo.
Music is what feelings sound like.

Yes we did chat but remember I did state that when I made my tutorial it worked fine but since that time with a few more patches installed and BIAB 2022 I can't seem to get it to work now. So in my case it's not that it never worked. I just can't get it to work anymore and since I don't like to record in BIAB I never bothered to mess with it any further. Hopefully someone in this thread can help both of us out.

Guitar is a monophonic instrument so if you are plugging your guitar directly into your computer only one side of the stereo track will have recorded your guitar and the other side will have recorded nothing.
Ways around this are using a pedal with stereo outs or recording your amp with either two microphones or one stereo out microphone.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Interestingly.....
I rarely ever record in BB because I tend to only use it to write the song structure and then import the tracks to my DAW where I record everything else.
However, I was working on 2 songs and wanted to send them to a collaborator for a quick and dirty listen to decide if it was even worth pursuing and for that reason, didn't want to invest the time to set up 2 new projects in the DAW quite yet. So I decided to do the recording in BB on the audio channel/track.
I got input showing on the meters.... one channel which would be correct for a left input on the interface....and set it up for mono by checking the box, and recorded the vox scratch. It came out on one channel (left) and certainly not mono in the center. Since it was scratch, I didn't really think much about it. In fact.... that gave my collaborator the option to kill that left vocal side to have a clean slate on the right to work against. I didn't try to do a stereo recording but it certainly sounds like it was doing that as it put the vocal 100% on the left.
I'm using BB 2022 latest build.
NOW: in my DAW.... I always use the Left side input rather than a stereo input for my tracks of all kinds. Same exact hardware set-up/routing in my interface. Especially since they are mono instruments mostly. The settings put that left side input direct in the center of the stereo field so it's effectively mono for all intents and purposes.
Since it recorded what appeared to be stereo in BB but mono in CW, and nothing else was different.... I would suspect it was a setting in the software preferences regarding how it treats inputs that made the difference between the two programs and how they treated that incoming signal.
