Is there a way to turn off directional audio in Windows (10)?

[inters3ctgaming]

The audio in my headphones' left ear has cut off (broken wire I think) and I can't fix it until I get back home at Christmas, playing games with directional audio is super difficult cause anything that happens to the left of my character is entirely silent.

So I'm wondering if I can turn off this feature in windows (since in many games there's no option to do so) and just have all audio come through my right ear for now as a workaround till I can fix my headphones.

Thanks in advance, Will.

Windows mono audio
Windows 10 Creators Update added a new option that forces audio output to be mono. To enable it, open the Ease of Access settings (Win + U), select Other Options in the left pane, then scroll down to the bottom and enable Mono Audio.Mar 8, 2010

as for games, well, that is usually built into the game now. the 3d positional stuff, and probably cannot be disabled.

I've turned it on, just need to try it in a few games and see if it works. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't though, thanks a bunch for the concise response!
