Hi The lack of low frequencies on headphones might indicate that the output you are using doesn't have enough power to drive your specific headphones. Maybe the front output has a built-in headphone amplifier, and the rear one doesn't. This behavior is especially likely to occur with power-hungry headphones, but a typical line-level only output (with no headphone amplifier) will usually not have the required power, even for standard 32-ohm headphones.
