Make sure the two problems aren't related. Look at the waveforms (bounce, freeze or turn on wave preview if necessary) and see if they really show a hard-panned signal. Maybe it's the UA-25 that's broken.
Recently when my MOTU crapped out, I resurrected an old UA-25 from the junk box in hopes of getting by with it for a while, but only one channel worked. Prosumer gear just isn't built for longevity. Good thing it isn't, else an audio interface might cost $20,000 if it was built by NASA.
