How is it being 'panned'? The decrease in volume might be expected or
not depending on the way it is being panned (see [1] and e.g. for Ardour
[2])
The fact that the audio is not 'moving' to the side doesn't seem normal.
What effect does running this produce (attention loud white noise, turn
down master volume!!)?

speaker-test -c 2

Again there could be many reasons. Firstly I would check routing/cabling
(both analogue and digital) to make sure the stereo path is correct
(mono switch somewhere? flimsy/loose stereo jack/input? JACK incorrectly
connected?...?). :)
