Balancing Monitoring Using A 410, Firewire 410, G4 iMac, Stereo not Mono Options

[sethjacquay]

hi, just purchased a M-Audio Firewire 410, everything seems to be working properly, but

when I monitor the input using Soundtrack 1.2 or Ableton Live 3.0.2 it is only is coming in on
one ear (mono) and when writing the input to a track it only records one side of the input which
ever channel it is on.

Question #1: Is this what is meant by Unbalanced Inputs? Or is something wrong with the unit?

Question #2: If this is unbalanced input how do I setup the control panel to do stereo recording in either of these programs?

I am guessing this is normal for the unit, as I am new to home studio setup and what not.
Other than that the device appears to work properly, very low latency, no latency stereo direct hardware monitoring, and clean sound.

It is funny though, using Soundtrack and Live 3 the sound is recorded in stereo but only on one side, but Apple's GarageBand allows you to select only one channel and to make it mono. Thus
allowing for the monitoring to be in Stereo.

Thanks for any advice, much appreciated.
Seth
