I take it that you mean the headphone output jack..
Well depending what headphones you plug in will effect the amount 
volume you will get out of the unit. ie ive just got some HD25's that 
will take your head off if your not carefull. I brought these to 
replace some DT100's i brought. These were the 400 ohm impedance 
varity and i struggled with those in regards to getting enough volume 
out of them in certain (live) situations.
So lower impedance < 100 ohms should yeild higher volume (not the 
only parameter though..)
Maybe you do have a problem with the headphone amp in the unit though
How are the L/R main outs doing in respect to level?
What headphones are you using? Are they ok on something else?
