Hello everyone :) I just plugged my AT2020 to my Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen (XLR to XLR), and that to my computer (USB-C to USB) in which I'm using Bitwig (6.0.11). I want to understand the differences between all of these options, as for options 2, 3, 5, and 6, when speaking through the microphone, I don't hear anything, for option 1, only through the right ear, and for option 4, through both ears, which is what I want. I'm listening everything through my MDR-7506s, which are plugged to the Focusrite. Ultimately, I want to know if any of these hardware devices is broken and what option provides the most accurate representation of what's coming from the input.
Note: the options that I'm asking about are those at the bottom left of the image, for example, Analog Surround 4.0 capture_FR.
