I must say that I'm speculating on this particular problem, but I know that Vista currently has an issue with selection of the input format used by the audio system. This format normally selected by right-clicking on the input (the microphone) in the audio control panel, clicking Properties and then the Options tab. You will see a list box to select the default format that the audio system will use with that input. This UI does not currently offer a way to select the number of channels. We do hope to improve this. You might be able to work around this by removing mono support from your driver. The Vista audio system should recognize this and use the stereo support. Again, I am only speculating right now. Mitch Rundle might be able to confirm some of this. A question to you regarding your observation on waveInGetDevCaps: when you say this reports your device as mono, are you referring to the set of format flags in WAVEINCAPS.dwFormats? What flags are returned here? This might be a different issue that we would need to repro' and investigate here.
