Listening to logic through my headphones port on my computer?

Is there any reason why I cant plug my headphones into the headphones jack on my computer and listen to my song that Im playing in logic that way? I can only listen to the song through my interface..

It can be done,
however with the dynamics of how sound bounce;

it wont be the same as how you would hear it with a nearfiel monitor,
therefore if you were suppose to do a mix on headhhones,
it might sound real good, though the headphones

now try and listen to that same mix on a pair of monitors,
and it will sound so Sh£t,

so the answer is NO.

And anyone who tells you anything other than that, is a Moron.

As one last resort, go to Applications->Utilities->Audio Midi Setup and make sure your audio output is turned up on the audio devices menu. I've had those settings get turned down out of nowhere before. If you are able to hear something from the internal computer speakers, but when you plug headphones in you get nothing, something is wrong with the computer audio output, maybe even try gently jiggling the jack to make sure it's connecting, also make sure the headphones work with another source (in case you haven't already confirmed that its not your headphones that are the problem).

Also, as previously mentioned, make sure that your audio interface is completely disconnected and the audio driver settings in logic are on "built in audio." Good Luck!
