I have a PC that only has one speaker working (big speaker, attached to a 27 inch TV/monitor). I listen to music and some songs are all messed up unless they have both speakers working. Since I only have the left speaker working, I want to have both sides play on the left.

Is that possible (without changing hardware)?

i do not have a Vista machine to test on, but where you select your speaker setup isn't there a Monaural (Mono, Single Speaker etc) option? – Xantec Apr 8 '11 at 21:29

On the volume icon in the taskbar tray, right-click, click Playback devices, right-click on your device, click Properties, then go to the Levels tab, then to the right of the first slider, click Balance, and you should be able to configure different sliders, like so:

Sadly, this does not move the right side to the left. It only reduces the volume of the right side (which does not work anyway). (I have only L and R sliders in the Balance popup) – George Bailey Apr 8 '11 at 21:14
Sorry to hear that @GeorgeBailey...Good to know for future reference, I learned something today... – studiohack♦ Apr 8 '11 at 21:36

You shouldn't need to (studiohack's answer should cover you), but a simple/cheap hardware fix would be to use a y-splitter in reverse.
