RME FF 400 question - RESOLVED

I've tried asking this on the RME forum where I got no response.  My question:  the output from channel 7&8 are much lower in volume than the outputs for channels 1 - 6.  All setting in Total Mix are the same.  Any ideas?  I'm hoping that someone with a FF 400 will have the answer.  Thanks in advance for your reply.

    my UCX has an output setting withthree stages of gain. I can't recall then now. I'll post details whenh I Get home

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    A bit more information.  Channels 1 - 6 are routed into channels 1 - 6 in my mixer, while I'm using a stereo Y cable from the headphone output on the front of the FF 400 routed into channels 7 and 8 of my mixer, yet the volume level is much lower.  I have the headphone output level turned all the way up to 6 (the max), yet that doesn't help. 

    All the best,

    The headphone volume is lower by default in TM I think, did you check that?

    Ok, but did you have a look at the total mix output settings?
     
     
    Edit: missed that part in your OP, sorry :(

    Did you check the headphones Level settings in the Fireface settings (i.e. not Totalmix)?

    Thank you so much!  That was it; I had it set to -10 rather than +4, and I totally overlooked the Fireface settings.  I gaurantee that you hit it quicker than the RME forum.

    Lynn, that was what I was trying to mention from work. I would have answered you now, but you already know :-)
