[Elecraft] K3s missing right channel in "nor xxx" mode / digital level too low

[C G]

My K3s/10 has no sub-receiver option. I use two speakers plugged in the rear jack that work perfectly. Firmware is up-to-date.

Now two issues:

In USB Audio (digital) or Line Out (analog), when setting the Config:Lin Out:
- in "=phones" I receive (pseudo-) stereo in my computer, but
- in "nor xxx" only the left channel remains. Is this on purpose or did I miss a setting somewhere ?
I'd like to obtain pseudo-stereo AFX also in "nor xxx" mode (i.e. AF setting has no influence)

Beside this, the digital level is too weak (-30 dB peak with AGC=on) in USB audio. Would it be possible to rise the output level to AES/EBU Broadcast Audio Standard, i.e. -18 or -20 dB (depending on countries), or even more, as dynamic is lower for speech and therefore headroom can be reduced without clipping consequences. That would mean additional A/D gain : +10 dB, + 12 dB, and maybe +24 or +30 dB boost for weak signals?
