thanks for the recommendation. I'll switch the audio settings for the headphones
(edit) although - I still only get audio through one headphone... but that's just b/c there's only one jack, right? (which is plugged into output 3)

and yea - I am an IDIOT
I just realized... "mute" was clicked on the m-audio device software

what's sad - is that I've been trying to figure this out for DAYS
and it wasn't until just now that I noticed it
