Is the vocal track recoverable?

Here's the situation. I recorded a VoIP call of mine, and instead of using the wave-out for the capture, I captured a mono direct mic feed. As a result, I'm faced the following issues:

1) Motherboard interference (integrated soundcard)
2) Barely audible second person. (audio was captured from headphones)
3) TOO audible "ME".

I've tried several trial plug-ins and haven't had much luck with any of them so far, most probably due to the fact that I lack experience in this type of setting. The audio as a whole is very important to me, and re-recording is not an option. I am willing to go to whatever lengths neccessary in order to improve the audibility of the second voice.

I've included a small sample to demonstrate the above issues.

I realize that it might be a long shot, but is the vocal track recoverable? If so, can anyone advise on a good restoration suite/plug-in, and if possible, some good settings to try and adjust for better audibility?

Thanks for your attention.

Audition has all the tools you need. But it will be difficult and I doubt you will get exactly a good quality result but it should be able to be made inteligible.

You can use Audition to raise the levels of the quiet bits to get them nearer to your voice level. Noise reduction tools can be used to reduce some of the background noise.

For quick and dirty level adjustment you could try running your audio file through Levelator.

As you are posting here, you probably already own the best software to do this at a reasonable price. However, from listening to the audio, it would take a skilled operator to achieve a usable result.

If recovering the audio is really important then I would take it to a forensic audio specialist. In the UK I would suggest Cedar in Cambridge.
