Um, mine is. The sound is stereo, only the internal speaker (WHY are you
still listening to the internal speaker) and the output jack (stereo jack,
but wired together) are mono. There's an 8-channel multiplexed signal from
the Ensoniq connector, which my Audio Animator makes use of nicely. :)

There are a couple of games that are disappointing in their lack of stereo
support though...the most notable IMO is Tunnels of Armageddon. Great game,
but it'd be even better if I could hear those whining generators go whining
by to the left and right in stereo-mixed whining glory...

One day I'll have to improve my 65816 assembly knowledge, disassemble the
stupid thing, and fix that. ;)  (...and then I'll wake up.)
