I don't know if this would be proper on this forum because I don't know if it's a problem with my microphone or with Windows or the sound card or something else, but here goes. On my old computer under the same set up my studio microphone worked fine but now on this computer under Windows 7 it does not. When noise suppression is turned off, my microphone only sends input to the left channel but when noise suppression is on it sends to both left and right channels. I have the microphone hooked up to a whatever the plug is called on studio mics to RCA converter and then to a miniKaosPad and then a line in cable ultimately running to the sound card if that helps at all. I'm wondering though if there's some tweak in Windows 7 I can modify to fix this because noise suppression is cool and all for getting rid of the static from my miniKP but it muffles my voice noticeably and when I sing, notes I hold for longer than a couple of seconds are also suppressed by noise suppression. I have audio software to do noise REDUCTION and remove the static manually so I don't really need the automatic noise suppression to begin with. When I only plug the microphone partially into the converter this problem is alleviated but this seems like I'm only putting a band aid on a major wound to fix it.

I just tried PLUGGING the line in cable into the line in port on my sound card just to see if it was the microphone input being the problem but the line in does the same thing.Noise suppression is for speech.
We need some more details about the sound card and motherboard you use. Most PC sound systems do not have stereo input for a microphone. Only the line input is stereo.

They look the same, but only one is stereo.

BTW: how do I reduce the display size of the IMAGE?Not sure what the motherboard or sound card is or else I would of provided the info in the original post. All the methods I tried to find out the motherboard and sound card revealed no results unfortunately and they didn't tell me what they were in the computer specs when I BOUGHT it and there was no DOCUMENTATION provided. This is another reason I prefer building my computers but someone bought me this one before I had time to think about it. Luckily they decided to go crazy with the system specs even though they know nothing about them! I don't know what else to do to find out what sound card and motherboard I have aside from actually opening up the computer and taking it apart but I don't think I'm allowed to do that yet. I'm thinking maybe the stuff was damaged when I had that power surge that killed my previous computer but don't have the means to test out that theory right now.
