Actually I've discovered a pretty simple and common cause for an effect like that a long time ago:
The "ground" connection (the biggest section of the connector) does not make contact, only the left and right stereo contacts do.
As a result, you hear only the difference between left and right stereo channel.
For music that sounds surprisingly close to vocals being filtered out.
