How to improve the sound from the internal Mac Mini speaker?

I have a brand new Mac Mini M2 Pro, and I am discovering that the internal speaker sounds tinny. Are there settings that will improve the quality?

Luckily my Mini is attached to a monitor with pretty good sound, but I'd like to know if there is a way to improve the Mini's sound, too. I'm used to a iMac(mid-2010) with spectacular speakers, so I'm a little disappointed with the Mac Mini, considering its cost and other up-to-date/improved Mac features.

Mac mini, macOS 13.4

Nope, it is just a tiny little speaker.

For good sound, you need to use your display speakers or an external speaker system.

Thank you to you and to hcsitas. I put on a headset, and am satisfied with the sound coming from Mac Mni through that device. I also like the monitor's speakers, so I'm satisfied with the sound from my new system.
