Urgent: recording in stereo via line in in Audacity

[NiceCupOfTea]

Mods: please don't move, I'm going out shortly and need to record something from the radio.

Using Audacity I am recording from my DAB radio - stereo (headphone) jack out to stereo jack line in on soundcard (light blue socket), but audacity only says it can hear through the left channel and is only creating a mono track.

Help! Anything obvious I am doing wrong? Wires seem OK and everything plugged in properly...

Edit: I should add I am monitoring it through the soundcard speakers and it is stereo, so presumably something in Audacity...

Had same prob . They seem to come pre-set that way (why???) Somewhere in the settings you'll find the stereo channel set-up. Sorry I can't be more helpful ATM (have since uninstalled it).

ETA Found it: Edit> Preferences> Audio I/O> Channels

I do this and use 'stereo mix' setting, works well.
