Its probably an option in the menus.

I went back and checked my settings and made sure that I had "stereo speakers" selected. When going through the various options before, I thought I had selected this properly. After re-doing it the sound was much better. However, the overall sound volume (loudness) is barely adequate. Perhaps, I should invest in a set of better speakers with more power. Thanks very much for your help.
