Logitech Capture software for c922 Pro only records in stereo?
Answered
The c922 Pro has two attached mics for stereo recording, which is pretty cool. However, I want to be able to record audio with my desk-mounted Shure SM7B mic, which seems like a reasonable request for a webcam that comes with the Logitech Capture software.
However, when I choose my Shure mic in the Logitech Capture software and then try to record video/audio, it sends the Shure's mono signal to only one audio channel, rather than centering it. So audio playback only comes through one speaker.
Surely there's a way to center mono signal audio, but I can't find anywhere in the Logitech Capture software to do anything with audio except select a source. Is this software really this simple/stupid?

Was this ever answered? I have exact same problem with a AKG mic through a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 Audio interface. Records fine, but only plays back in left speaker. I have tried it in mono and stereo out settings in the Scarlett software with no change. Looks like the Logi application has a significant gap? The audio captured by the 922 is not acceptable...FYI. Please let us know. Thank you.

While we're waiting on some kind of competent feedback, I guess I can suggest a possible understanding or workaround based upon my research.
What I believe is that IF two mics are actually recording (assuming two mics actually exist - which is still in question for me), then the recording format may be .pcm (which it probably is and a very capable format) AND encoded stereo. If .pcm is being used, then in spite of playing-back (apparently) only one channel, it is actually both left-right channels combined being piped through. I guess I'm suggesting all the stereo - even Dolby 7.1 is (or could be) there. If that is the case, then decoding the left-right channels may be possible via software decoders which are able to decode various .pcm formats.
It would be great if we could have those thoughts competently debunked or confirmed... ...or something.
How about: Are there physically two mics? Does each mic record/store it's own signal or not? Are each of these signals encoded into a single decode-able signal and stored in a file like .pcm (or other)? And so on... no?
