From what I can tell, none of these have worked.

Something seems to have upped the volume some, but the vocal output of songs and calls is still significantly lower than compared to my phone (Edit: With it's company's brand of headphones) on a similar level of volume output.

Edit: Checking now with the same Headphones I used for my PC plugged into my phone, it seems to have the same problem but even worse. Does this mean it's the Headphones themselves?

What is your audio driver?

Realtek High Definition Audio.

Hi James

This generally happens when the audio channels are set incorrectly

If it is incorrectly set to 5.1, 7.1 or stereo, the channel with the voice can be lost, while you will still hear other game sounds or music, but not the singer or other voice sounds

On all your audio settings, in Windows and any audio panel(s) you have, look for the output and change that to a different setting to see if the voice channel returns . . .
