Voice through Headphones substantially lower then everything else.
I am having an issue with my audio playback through my headphones. All the sound is good, crisp, and clear, except when it comes to voice's. The voice over's are very very quiet and I'm having a hard time hearing it because I'll turn up the volume but then the rest of the sound turns up as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I don't have a definitive answer. Try re-installing the Realtek audio driver or installing a fresh copy of it.
Try disabling all sound effects from the Enhancements tab of the Speaker properties.
Try using the generic audio driver instead of the Realtek driver.
If using the Windows driver solves the problem then the problem is caused by the Realtek driver. If it doesn't solve the problem then it might be in the hardware.

Hello. What is the full model name and the operating system of your laptop?
When you say "voices", are you listening to music or videos, dvd's, streaming, or off the hard drive?

Did you try second headphone or have you ever connected your headphone to a different laptop/desktop?
There is a tiny possibility that a broken headphone ground wire could exactly cause your problem.
Before I give any further explanation - just try it and make sure that the headphones are NOT the problem!

I forgot to mention that a broken headphone connector on the mainboard (loose ground connection) could create the same effect.....
