Another engineer has been using the system for a while. Is there a setting somewhere he could have changed? I can hear some low level clicks in the headphones when I change the volume, or change the source that feeds the phones, so it seems there is audio getting to the headphone jack. I also tested the switches using the TEST mode of the UTILITY section--they are all functioning well. I'm also seeing signal on the meters of outputs 1 and 5.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi,

could be that the headphone amp in the xMon (or D-Command) is broken.
If the headphone amp would be in the xMon, then you could "simply" borrow a unit from a friend ... if the amp is in the D-Command, then of course one would have to know where it is and how to get a diagram for testing what exactly is broken.

This is my idea to your problem
