When it's in normal mode. Shouldn't it play in stereo? I only get audio from the far right speaker which really sounds awful since it's not centered. When 3D mode is turned on, I get a fake 'stereo' effect that's faint and echoes from the left speaker, while the majority of the audio comes from the right at full volume. Again, it does not sound normal at all and is annoying. I tried sampling movies and even music channels to test out the audio, and it really sounded bad to my ears in 3d mode, and while 'better' in 'normal' mode, it was still only mono audio basically and not centered either, which is distracting.

Does anyone have experience with this system and issue? Is that how it's made to push people to use 3d mode only despite not sounding normal?

The company is off for the holiday weekend. So I can't call them, but did send an email. Any information would be appreciated.

Also I bought it brand new from a seller on Ebay, and no returns are allowed. However, I still contacted the seller to see if they'd allow it for defective products.
It does sound like it is defective. Like one channel is not working. You could try and narrow it down a bit by switching the left and right and see if it switches sides. I guess I should ask first, how are you connecting to the sound bar? What equipment are you using?
