Stereo audio playing back as mono in timeline but is fine in source monitor.

I have done all the obvious things. It renders out as mono as well

    Is there a way just to simply change the settings? It does not make sense that Premiere would not just allow for a change


    As far as I know you can't change that once the sequence is set. It is a little complicated on the development side to let that be changed. Audio mapping can get a little complex. A single copy and paste of everything on the timeline should do the trick.

    Just also make sure you select the sequence in the timeline window and go to the menu>sequence>sequence settings>audio>number of channels (set to 2)  I was tearing my hair out over this issue until I found this option 🙂  The MultiCam editing selects single channel as the reference channel by default and applies it to the entire timeline.

    Like Neil suggests, please share a few screen shots of:

    a) your sequence settings

    b) your audio channels settings

    c) your audio clip mixer panel

    d) your audio track mixer panel

    e) properties of the clip

    From the first screen grab it looks like the sequence has mono audio output. May need to create a new sequence and copy and paste into it.

    Are you sure your sequence contains a stereo audio track?

    Select the clip on the timeline, using the context menu (right-clicking), select Audio Channels... and make sure that both L+R have a separate channel.

    If that's not the issue, please report back.

    Yes, that was the first thing I checked

    A couple screen grabs would help ... showing clip properties, sequence settings, and the audio sections of each the most important of course.
