The game has only ever had Stereo sound.
Back before a20 the separation between left and right for sounds was very significant, so you could tell general direction based on that. Then it got "improved", and spread across both bands more. Which muddles the separation and makes it harder to track.
I remember bringing this up to TFP a couple of years ago, and didn't get much of a response (maybe ignorance) about it.
OP's Xbox never had surround sound. Just good stereo with surround emulation. (On PC it was awesome with DTS integration.)
Also for reference, my headset is a Razer Kraken with actual surround using multiple drivers. Not "emulated surround" with stereo drivers like 99% of the "surround" headsets on the market are.
