Re: [LAU] USB cassette player only recognized as mono device

I've just purchased an inexpensive USB cassette player in order to archive/preserve some audio cassette recordings of some interviews I did years ago, and I've run into a slight issue with the detection of the device. The device identifies as a JMTek USB Audio Device (Vendor 0c76, Device 160a). I'm using openSUSE 12.2. When I plug the device in and connect to it with Audacity, and I only get a mono channel (rather than a stereo setup). Looking at the output of "lsusb -v", I see that the input terminal is identified as a microphone with one channel. (Output of lsusb -v is at the end of this post) If I start a Windows XP VM in Virtualbox and connect the device to that, it is recognized (in Windows) as a stereo device, and I can record left and right channels, so the hardware should be recognized as having stereo channels via USB. There are no special drivers installed for the Windows VM (it was just "plug and play").
