I need Windows 7 to output Mono.

[JosiahBradley]

You guys always have the best solution and I can't find another post on this so:

I need someway to output mono sound from my Windows 7 laptop. If there is a cheap hardware solution, like an active or passive cable that works well, I am open to that. I know Windows 7 does not support mono output in any way, so I was wondering what third party programs I could download to do this.

Also note I need this at the OS level and not through a music playing app as I can figure that out already using DSPs. I really want to play Torchlight II without missing the sounds from the right side.

Thank you very much in advance if anyone can help me figure this out.

There is a stereo to mono adapter you can buy for under $4... As for an OS solution I don't have one... The choice on mono audio was removed from Win7 (it was in XP)...
Here is a link to the adapter for reference...

Thanks for the reply. It seems my hearing loss my not be permanent, so maybe I will not need to find a solution. I would need about 2 to 3 adapters in total to pull off what I needed.

(m) 1/8 stereo to (f) 1/8 mono -> (m) 1/8 mono to (f) 1/4 stereo [this might be 2 adapters itself]

Kinda wish MS would of built in just one more accessibility feature.
