The sound files are (usually) a (2xN) or (Nx2) matrix, one row or column for each channel. To have it play in only the right channel, set the other to a vector of zeros:
Fs = 44100;
t = linspace(0, Fs*2, Fs*2);
s = sin(2*pi*t*1000);
Out = [zeros(size(t)); s]';
sound(Out, Fs)
There is a problem with the sound on my laptop, so it’s not rendering this correctly. It should work on your computer.

Alireza Naghsh is right: Play works stereo, but when writing to file it doesn't seem to work.
