I think the sample I'm providing has at least the young female voice in it. We can't do forensics. If you're in the "I think there's a voice there" territory, you're way beyond anything we can do. You should start planning what you would do if you had no show. The clip has very odd soundi...

Hello again! I was finally able to try your suggestion of switching out the lines in the headphone (green jack). Nothing seems to help. I can right click on the sound icon in the taskbar (next to the clock) and open the Playback Devices, and then right click on the playback device listed ...
