OK, I just brought it up and tried some things. If I load the mono

I invert one channel to get two channels out of polarity. They play
OK on speakers but nothing from headphones! I take it to
Multichannel for editing. If I export it to mixdown, it remains just
two out of polarity channels.


This is the symptom of a lifted ground caused by a failed mini phone
plug, as I said repeatedly. Mini phone plugs have no place in any
application where you actually expect things to work properly.

OK, thanks Scott. Then the bad mini jack must be somewhere before the
headphones, because the headphones work just fine with a stereo signal, and
they work fine on monitoring the recorder's output. So how could there be a
fault before the headphone jack that doesn't affect the speaker output as
well?

Rhetorical question - let me investigate further after work today.
