Setting windows to momo

How can you set your system to mono? Talking about Windows (7) here. One of my speakers has recently died, and I'm currently out of money to buy a proper new sound system. Headphones are good but they give me pains in my ears after a while.

I've done a few google searches but there were no satisfying results, maybe the music makers know better

I can't listen to the IDMz with only one channel!

What player do you use? If you have foobar you can add a 'downmix channels to mono' under the DSP settings, which would do the trick :sup:

I use itunes but I will gladly switch for such a feature. Big up bredwin!

• Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Player. If the Player is currently open and you’re in Now Playing mode, click the Switch to Library button in the upper-right corner of the Player.[/size]
  
• In the Player Library, click Organize, and then click Options.
  
• Click the Devices tab, click Speakers, and then click Properties.
  
• Select the option you want (In your case probably 'Laptop Mono Speakers'), and then click OK.
  

This should set the output as being mono for all applications (Not just ugh, Windows Media Player)

And I'd also recommend the facets component, which is an itunesy media library browser
