Need help getting audio to play through both speakers

[Darakis]

I didn't know where to put this and it might not be related to anything on this website but i need a solution to this problem. I recorded audio from a mic for an animated cartoon I'm making and when I import it into Premiere it only plays out of the one speaker. I need it to play out of both. I'm using a unidirectional mic which could be the problem but I'm not sure. Any program I play it with plays it on the one speaker. any help would be appreciated.

sure u recorded STEREO (no u didnt) so save it as 2 channel.

You could perhaps check it in a WAV editor. I'm guessing that you have a stereo have with only one channel containing audio.
A WAV editor such as Goldwave will allow you to copy one channel to the other and save as stereo.

Ok, I'll try your suggestions. If I can't get it to work, I'll be back.

I tried encodeing the audio in TMPGEnc. as Dual channel and stereo and it still will not work. I've downloaded the shareware version of Goldwave and tried messing around with it in there but it's a bit confusing for me right now considering I have no idea what the he!! I'm doing. Is there some kind of external microphone I could use that's stereo? You see I have a Hitachi DVD camcorder and when I recorded audio with it it had the cameras' motor noise in it. I bought an external unidirectional mic hoping it would fix the problem and it did but now when I open the footage with the audio in it on my pc it only plays through the one speaker.

In Premiere right click on the audio in the timeline go to audio options and select duplicate left. see if that works.
