sound channel help

[shadowsauce]

I'm looking for a program that will combine all the different signals going to the different audio channels (front left, front right, rear left, rear right, etc). im using a pair of headphones on a 5.1 sound card, and my front left speaker signal doesn't work, so if i plug my headphones into the front channel jack, sound only comes out of one ear, but if i plug it in the rear, i can get both rear channels; the problem is that if im playing any game with 5.1 sound i cant hear anything in front of my character. obviously changing the setting to not be 3d sound doesn't help, because then it won't make sound out of the rear channel, the channel my headphones are plugged into. Thanks!

Shouldn't your sound card have a "stereo" jack? Like, if you were to just use 2.0 speakers, those speakers should only have 1 plug, not 2. There should be a jack for that setup on your soundcard; you would want to use that same jack for the headphones.

Why not just buy a new cheap sound card instead of trying to "combine" the signals together?
