Exactly, to be more specific, what I was trying to say was this....
In the track properties that you are about to record on, there should be
some sort of button or something to press that will bring up the possible
manipulations of your sound card while recording....it my say something
like this

SB GOLD! Mono L
SB GOLD! Mono R
SB GOLD! Stereo (l,r)

and you select one, being sure to select stereo...make sense? If this is
NOT the case, make sure that your you are using a stereo 8th inch adapter
to go into your soundcard (assuming that it dosn't take duo quarter inch,
which some do...mine actually takes a stereo quarter inch, plus four more
in the addon card).

Another oddity is that I actually HAVE seen some multitrackers that present
the stereo file in such a way that it looks mono, even when it's
not...although rarely.

Cheap adapters can be futzy too, not always making a true stereo connection
because it wasn't casted to the perfect size....
