Hahaha, Rodolfo you made my day. It was anyway a hard week, so good that I read your post :) The mic is mono, so the input if I am not wrong is mono as well. Check of course the specs of your board. On my one (pretty standard) it says: Interfaces Audio: line-in 1 Audio: line-out 1 Front audio: microphone 1 Front audio: headphone 1 in linux language $ amixer Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 65536 Mono: Front Left: Playback 11477 [18%] [on] Front Right: Playback 11477 [18%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 65536 Front Left: Capture 7353 [11%] [on] Front Right: Capture 7353 [11%] [on] $ ls -1 /dev/snd/ by-id by-path controlC0 controlC1 hwC0D2 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D2c pcmC1D0c seq timer pcm____c is capture device (p is playback) The mic has also different Ohms or perhaps better to say impedance, so I am not sure if it would work, but you could try plugging those mics to the line in, not the mic. So line in, is the stereo one. I think if you plugin mic(s) without preamp, because of the high Ohms, it would be very silent, but still worth a try. You need a stereo jack to L-R like this one https://www.thomann.de/at/pro_snake_78219_yadapterkabel.htm This way you'll also know if it is true stereo, because if you unplug the one mic, it would record only on the other channel. Of course you can see this in audacity or even with arecord However I am not sure what would be the purpose of all this, but you know perhaps better regards
