You trick of different speakers has helped to narrow down the problem.
I'm currently using USB headphones as my default speakers.
I also have regular speakers attached to built-in motherboard sound port.
Originally they both behaved exactly the same. Since I did the "Reset All Settings" I had not retested the normal speakers. But your last post made me go back and retest them.
The normal speakers are now working correctly. But the USB headphones I still have same problem. So it appears am making progress to fixing.
Hopefully the additional information below will be helpful and maybe you'll have more suggestions so that I can completely resolve it.
That particular video clip I linked to didn't have background music. Was trying to avoid linking to a 650MB movie file. Guess I need to be more exact about the way I described the problem.
If I play the mono track mp4 I get NO sound at all. If play some stereo movie files I get background music and no voices.
So to give you a better working example here is a file from your site that gives exactly the problem I'm describing.
I hear the intro music but can't hear the person talking, only on the USB headset. The normal speakers now play everything correctly.
