HOYLE1: MT-32 Emulation has significant right-side audio balance bias

Description
Windows 11 Home, 24H2, 26100.3915.
Using MT-32 Emulation, the music is noticeably panned too far to the right. It's not completely right-only or anything, but it's very noticable. Running the game in dosbox-staging (0.82) using MT-32 settings does not have this issue. Though I have limited access to other games right now, this issue does appear in sci:christmas1990 as well.
A notable aspect of this is when using the current stable build (2.9.0), this issue applies to Ad-Lib emulation as well! However, running the daily (2.10.0git14681-g8f5500d05be) fixes this issue, but not the MT-32 one. I've been swapping between the two builds' versions of scummvm and winsparkle.dll using the same config to test; there's some notable differences in volume as well but that's probably known/intentional. An important adjunct to this is that the stable build does NOT have this issue with scumm:pass in Ad-Lib, just the two SCI games I tested. I unfortunately do not know of an MT-32 supporting non-SCI demo or other free game to test here.
