Hi Wendy,

I'll agree that the fidelity for most laptop speakers
is not great.  I have seen laptops that come equipped
with JBL speakers but they are far from stand alone
equivs.

Have you considered using the PanControl and Pan
properties for the SoundOut.  By using PanControl=Yes
and a value of -10000 will present an audio file only
in the left speaker.  A value of 10000 will present in
all right.  A value of 0 the default will present in
both speakers.

Now this does not take into account if the file is
stereo 2-track.  If you want both tracks to be
presented equally, I would mix them into a mono file
first.
