MOTU 828 mkii Headphone Output Not Working

Have you tried toggling the Phones Assign in the Motu Audio Setup app that runs when you boot your machine and it sees your Motu?

I sometimes have to toggle this between Phones Assign: Main Out 1 -2 and Phones 1 - 2

It usually ends up on Main Out 1 - 2 but sometimes seems to 'forget'. The toggling gets the output back again. And not to insult your intelligence at all (cuz I've done this a couple of times) make sure the headphone volume is up. Once or twice I turned the headphone volume down when I meant to turn down the Monitors!! That pesky push toggle switch.

Perhaps if you boot the computer with the MOTU off, the MOTU software resets the outputs.

If the other suggestions do not work, try a reset.




Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
Press the Setup knob
Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right (to Factory Default)
Press the Select knob
Press the Value knob
Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable back in
Power the interface back on
