Try another set of headphones? Does it have to do with stereo/mono
sounds?
For some situations and certain songs, the "voice removal" effect could
be achieved with a miswired set of headphones. I remember reading that
some music tracks have voice in the "center" (equally divided between
left and right) and that this is the principle on which most voice
removal works. If your headphones were connected in such a way that
only the left and right wires were connected (not ground), you might
just amplify the music, not voice. Check that the plug is all of the
way in. (This could also be a problem at the plug/socket, I imagine.)
