    Exclamation No voice via speakers but there via headphones

    Okay, I am a bit baffled. This is also my first post so bear with me. Ill post what I think will be helpful, and feel free to ask for more details. The short story:

    On certain video files (no real pattern, doesn't seem dependent on video file type, etc) I have all of the sound effects but no voices. So, I can hear everything going on but cannot hear people talking. However, on the same video, if I plug my headphones in, all works like it should. Note - It does not matter if I plug in the front of rear of my pc. Another note, everything works fine via Win7 on the same box. I have been googling to no avail.

    12.04 64b
    Card: HDA Intel
    Chip: Realtek ALC889A
    Integrated motherboard audio - Gigabyte X38-DQ6 - Most recent (still older) BIOS.
    alsamixer = nothing muted or low - all full.
    gnome-alsamixer = nothing muted or low - all full.

    When I run aplay -l I get the following. Does it strike anyone as odd that it shows up the same twice?
    Code:
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC889A Analog [ALC889A Analog]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC889A Digital [ALC889A Digital]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

    It almost makes me think there is something blocking my system from processing the voice channel and perhaps I have a missing or conflicting package. Is this possible?

    Has anyone run across this?

    Thanks in advance!
