I need to record my discord channel as well as my own voice for my YouTube videos, but the recording software is only taking my microphone. I've tried every solution I found online and nothing seems to work. At first I read to use Audacity's Windows WASAPI feature and then just loopback the audio. Well that's all fine and dandy but you need 2 (Stereo) recording and I know I have a stereo headset (Razer Kraken USB 7.1) so why is it stuck on mono recording? I've looked into properties and the option for stereo isn't even in the dropdown menu. Any information would be helpful, whether it's good or bad news. Happy Holidays everyone!

I think it is always better to have PC audio and microphone recorded separately. I'm assuming that you also record game footage for your YouTube channel. I would record visuals (discord/game) and audio(discord/game) via OBS (recording software) and then record your voice through Audacity. That way you can edit your voice audio without messing everything up and all you have to do is stick it up in editing.
