I'm new here and a total noob regarding audio so excuse my ignorance. I lost all my hearing in my right ear this summer, 100% deaf on that ear.
So what I've been trying to do is getting both audio channels, when listening to something in stereo, to go to my left ear. Most of the time this isn't an issue but every once in a while the song/movie/whatever is split so I only hear the part going to my left ear.

I have a ASUS Xonar Essence STX audiocard but to the best of my knowledge it doesn't support what I'm trying to do.

My question, any ways make this happen or maybe an amplifier that would allow me to do this?

 
there is.
Hopefully i can explain this quickly enough.

Open up Playback Devices, then right click your device and go to properties.
Go to enhancements
Scroll to Headphone Virtualization and check the box.
Done!!
If you don't have an option for Headphone Virtualization you just need to get generic drivers.
Go get generic Realtek drivers for your integrated GPU, just go to Realteks website and download the latest.

Thanks for the answer, I tried doing what you said and went to realtek website and downloaded the latest driver but unfortunately there's still no "Headphone Virtualization" option for me available :/
