Hi,
It depends on what you mean by stereo sound - Magix does not handle this well.
Are you getting sound in only one channel? You can NOT convert mono audio into stereo but you can make it come out both channels. Let me know what you're trying to accomplish.

Ahh yes - the Magix version of "MONO" - this frustrates me very much as it's basic audio principles that they can't seem to get right!

Try this first... you're going to have to move some tracks around for this. Move all your tracks so you have a blank track below each existing track. Then copy each track and place the copy directly below the original; go to the mixer and pan that track all the way to the opposite of where it is now.
EXAMPLE:
Say your vocal track is at the top... move all your tracks down to create a blank below your vocal track. Now copy your vocal and place it in the blank track you just created. Now open the mixer - if the original is only sounding through the left monitor then pan the COPY to the far right. Now you have two identical tracks - one in the left speaker and one in the right. A positive side effect of this is it actually make your song sound fuller and brings the gain up nicely.

To avoid this in the future you can check the record in mono option (advanced settings in the record window) and Music Maker will record evenly across both tracks.

My old analog video recorder records in mono too.

So, here's how I fixed it:

1. Right-click the audio track
2. Choose "Audio Cleaning..." (or Shift+W)
3. In the Audio Cleaning window, click on the last tab called "Stereo FX"
4. At the top of this Stereo FX window, click on the drop-down list and choose the preset "mono". In mine, the Stereo FX check box to the left automatically checked itself.
