Set audio input level manually on t5i

[ChrisFitzgerald]

First post here. I've just started workig with my new t5i, which I'm using to work on my ongoing video tutorial series. In the manual I see how it is possible to set the audio input level maually for an external mic but I can't figure out how to navigate to the menu that allows me to do this. I have pored over the user manual a number of times and can't find this information. Can anyone help?

When I plug my microphone into my camera and try to adjust auto levels only the auto levels on the top in the left ear moves not that R for right on the bottom and when I listen it only comes out of the left ear what am I doing wrong?

That question is close enough to gibberish that I have no confidence that I understand it. So I'm just guessing, but it sounds as though you may be plugging stereo earphones into a mono jack.
