Damn, I am having the same issue, and it's a pain. The problem that I'm having, and I think the one that this fellow has/had, is that the Lambda is only picking up and recording a left-panned, mono signal REGARDLESS OF THE MONO/STEREO button positions.

Lexicon Lambda has only one bus output consisting of two discrete channels which are left and right.

If you are plugging your guitar into the mini TRS line input on your PC the unbalanced guitar signal will be physically connected to both channels of your input bus which is why the audio signal is recorded to both left and right tracks in cool edit.
This however is not true stereo as the left and right signal is from the one orignal mono guitar input signal.

If you want to record your guitar in stereo without an amplifier and two microphones, you will need a guitar effects processor or amp simulator which has stereo outputs which you can then plug into your lambdas line level inputs and record to a stereo track.

alternatively you can acheive similar if not better results by recording your guitar in mono and then duplicating the recorded guitar track. once you have two identical mono guitar tracks you can pan the first track hard left and the duplicate hard right.
At this point you just have what you were originally getting by plugging into your PC. However if you now zoom in and click and drag the duplicated track forward any where between 10 and 15 milliseconds it will give a continuously variable phase difference between left and right signals which can be fine tuned to give a pretty impressive stereo effect.
Give this psycho acoustic trick a go on acoustic guitar or vocals and if you follow my instuctions you will be pleased with the results

This has to do with what you are recording. Is this a recorded sound from a guitar? if so then your problem can be fixed by simply making sure the guitar is in a mono imput BEFORE you record

I am totally lost!! All I have is the lambda lexicon and cubase LE4 on my desktop.Apparently it is not set up correctly. I want to record guitar and voice I have sound on lambda through mike and guitar but...

All it needs is a USB connection. You'll need to go into Cubase device setup and make sure your lambda drivers are selected. Then create the audio channels in cubase with the inputs set as the inputs you're using for guitar and mic. There is a monitor button right next to the record enable button that needs to be enabled if you want to hear playback from your computer.

Good luck!

Lexicon Omega will not play any sound on Windows XP

one of several install steps (the steps seem to vary depending on which manual you can find) mention checking your sound device setup in control panel. ON one machine I installed the sound devices were not affeted. On a 2nd PC they were changed from drivers installed with PC to the Lambda driver

Win XP settings->control panel->Sounds and Audio Devices then select Audio tab. Make sure the three areas are set up to use your PC's default drivers and not lambda's.

You may need to verify this again when reconnecting the Lambda USB cable. Sort of new but ran into this "issue" as well.

Found info in Lambda Studio Software Installation Guide I downloaded, step B following driver install.

Lambda doesn't record, though it seems ready to go

you need to go to the "control panel" on your computer.....click on sounds and audio devices, then hit the "audio" tab...make sure the lambda is selected on the recording and playback device....then apply...this should take care of it
