I'm not saying that this is the only possibility by any means
but the only time(s) I've seen (heard?) this behavior is when,
for some funky reason, the settings didn't get set or saved
correctly and it only set the CAPTUR for one of the two channels
in /etc/asound.state . Look for the 'Capture Source' control section.
Here is an excerpt from a machine that had only recorded one channel.
(yours will have a different number and options):
control.22 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type ENUMERATED
comment.item.0 Mic
comment.item.1 CD
comment.item.2 Video
comment.item.3 Aux
comment.item.4 Line
comment.item.5 Mix
comment.item.6 'Mix Mono'
comment.item.7 Phone
iface MIXER
name 'Capture Source'
value.0 Aux
value.1 Mic
"Mic" is the default but I needed to capture my Aux input so I
edited the file to have:
name 'Capture Source'
value.0 Aux
value.1 Aux
Ran "alsactl restore" and then it recorded both channels as
expected.
