From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hmmm have you considered a hardware solution? If you're using wired headphones you can get a few adapters to play the left channel in both ears.
Edit: wait that's the opposite, you can get adapters to (electrically incorrectly) connect both outputs to one side, or better yet get a tiny mixer that can do it correctly like this: https://a.co/d/9guRG3A you'll need a stereo splitter cable to get left and right outputs into separate channels, and maybe an adapter for the output
sadly buying things would not be viable as i could just buy better speakers if i was going to spend more money anyway, but thanks for the suggestion!
I see, is this a broken speaker situation? Maybe time to crack them open and do some fixing? Do you own a soldering iron?
Nah i just bought them, just made a bad choice and got a low quality product, two speakers that only play one channel in both haha
