Only one side of stereo capturing? DS games

Just something I noticed, if my DS game's audio settings are set to stereo, only the left side appears to be recorded. I have to change the setting in the game to mono to hear the full sound.
3DS games are unaffected, they all sound fine.
Any idea why?
I've got it set up fine, 3DS > audio filter > 3.5mm M/M cable > laptop, so no idea why it should do that.

I noticed the same trouble not long ago while recording Pokemon Soul Silver. But all seems fine when I set it to mono now.
Very Very odd

This is because most laptops don't support stereo input for their line in ports (if they even have one). Only one of the two channels is being captured on those.
I have the same problem and can't do anything with my device when I don't have access to my desktop PC.
I'm really hoping usb audio recording will be getting some priority over 3D. Many people need it. :/

He (she?) said it works normally for 3DS games.
I suspect it's just that one DS game, but I don't know which game it is. I tried a few and they seemed to work fine.

Well, it's sometimes hard to actually notice that one channel is missing if a game doesn't completely mute sounds for one channel.
I know Pokémon SoulSilver does exactly that during battles; left channel only plays sound effects for your Pokémon, right channel only those of your opponent.

I've had this problem as well. It started off stereo, but one day, it only came out of the left channel.

Hey everyone. I just got my japanese modded 3ds, and it was experiencing the same problem. The solution that I have involves purchasing a program, but you may be able to find a free alternative to do the same thing. Using virtual audio cable, I set up the following cable:

It allows for me to listen to the sound duplicated over both channels of my headphones, because it's being downsampled to mono. This has the added benefit of also being able to send the volume to several different places if you're also doing some sort of live streaming event as well.
Hope it helps someone!
