Well, success! Sort of...

The stereo mic device still shows up with two channels in the preferences dialog. In my case, leaving the default Channel 1 unchanged results in no improvement of the mic sound: it's still badly distorted. But when Channel 2 is selected, the mic sound is good!

Thank you RJ Ryan, Sean and everyone else who contributed. It looks like we are close to nailing this issue down.
