Any ideas?  What would you do?

That may be a result of the mame version you are using and the mame rom. Some of the sounds were sampled in an older version of mame and are now emulated. 

Derrick Renaud:

Even old 70s games use 2 speakers.  Canyon Bomber, Sprint 2 and other games of the era used a separate speaker for each player.


jcroach:

Looking at MAWS, these games are vertical from that era that are stereo.

1984
Complex X

1983
Fighting Roller
Gyruss
Journey
Spy Hunter

1982
The Electric Yo-Yo
Tron

1981
Gorf
Kick
Qix
Satan's Hollow
Solar Fox
Space Dungeon

1980
Space Invaders II (Midway, cocktail)


Ummon:

Space Dungeon is dual 8-way, and Gorf, Gyruss and Tron are 8-way. Spy Hunter don't count.

Mono games that used more than one speaker were wired in....you guessed it....mono.

I'd go with two speakers, man, just cos.
