I’ve checked different settings in Audacity AND my laptop sound settings (even the stereomix is no activated but it made no difference). I wonder if it hat something to do with Windows settings and not audacity itself. Also I hear my voice equably left and right before and during the recording in my earphones. And you can see it in the recording amplitudes - they differ in size depending on the side I’m talking into my mic. The problem I’m now dealing with (probably since the upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 but I’m not sure as I just have noticed the issue a few weeks ago and the uprade was MONTHS ago) is that always when I record a stereo audio file in audacity ONE SIDE is loud and clear and the other side is dull and muffled, and it seems like it’s still recording in MONO MODE as the clearer side is not hearable more left or right in my earphones, it’s just louder than the other side. I always make sure that the cable is correctly plugged into my mic AND my Dell laptop (I also have tried a new cable but it’s not the cable, neither is the mic the problem as I have the same mic model now again), and of course I do make sure that stereo is set in audacity. I’m using a standard Blue Yeti mic (no pro or X or other version) for 6 years now and never had issues like that before with audacity. I am an Youtube ASMRtist and mandatory need the stereo mode for the audio experience in my videos.
