Ok..  Cool...

Open the Audio tool that came with the Motu



Make sure that the Phones are assigned to "listen" to the correct  
output that the audio is being sent to.
You can set the phones to  listen to any output and it is possible  
without realizing it that in fact you are listening to the wrong one.
ala say for example make sure Phones are listening to Analog1-2   
(which are probably the main outputs)..

You can check what output the data is being sent on I think by opening  
up the CueMix utility and watching the meters in that and then making  
sure that the headphone is also "listening" to the same one.    
Actually I think the  LCD on the front of the Motu828 will tell you  
the same info.
Also make sure that in CueMix the Headphones are also set with the  
Monitor button turned on (bottom of the headphones strip in CueMix) -  
from memory if that is off the the phones are effectively muted..

I don't have my Motu Traveler here and set up at the moment so can't  
actually do screen shots and test  and/or recall exactly what shows  
where - sorry - I'm doing this from memory.
