Default Pro Control Headphone Send Not Working

I have an HD III Accel system that I just connected to a Pro Control. The DSUB cable is not pinned correctly, so I have to listen back to my audio through outputs 7-8. My real problem is that I am not getting a headphone mix at all through the headphone output. I am told that Pro Tools has the Pro Control set up to play the headphone output though 1-2 but I don't know how to either cross patch my I/O setup to see the headphone outputs, nor do I know if I can get my I/O to actually play out through 1-2 like I did with my Control 24.

Any suggestions or help is extremely welcome. I have a 192 I/O, and it goes straight in and out to my Pro Control.

Not to be sarcastic, but I would start with a correctly-wired DB25 cable

The cable is the one that came with the system. There is something that Digidesign did to make the pin configuration tricky. I am friends with the old training officer for Digidesign and he said to cross patch the system in the I/O setup. That's where the tricky part comes in. We are pretty sure it's not the DB 25 cable. Unfortunately, my pal is not able to come here to my studio, so he suggested I go to the DUC for help. Thanks anyway for the sarcastic remark. I appreciate the humor, but I'm looking for a solution. I need help from someone who has cross patched their system, and maybe I should have mentioned that in my original thread. Thanks for trying to help though, I do appreciate it. Scott

My real problem though, is that I am not getting a headphone mix at all through the headphone output.

Hey Scott,

How things buddy, long time no see.

I would try going to the I/O setup > outputs tab page and make a master output routed to outputs 7-8

This might then send the mix out to the correct pins on the digisnake to the pro control.

But does sound like you have the wront digisnake for the pro control.
