I can’t seem to get the Global EQ to affect the Headphone out, it works as it should on outs 1+2, is it not possible to use it on the headphone output? ---

Did not really try it, but I assumed that the headphone out is only a mix of the other outputs. So I thought if you have a global EQ on Out1+2 and mix Out1+2 to your headphones (swipe down in the preset) it should also have the global EQ. If you already did that, then I think it’s a design flaw and should be fixed, since then we could not monitor the global EQ settings on our headphones. ---

I assigned it outs 1+2 and also tried 3+4, still did not affect headphone out. Kinda bummer, I use the headphone out at night so I don’t make too much noise. Hope they fix it. ---

Unfortunalty, the Global EQ only applies to output 1/2 and/or 3/4 , but never on the Headphone output , which is a big oversight … Perhaps, there’s some technical reason for this , but it would be nice to have this option in the future … ---

Just want to keep this alive. Really frustrating to have to come up with janky workarounds to eq my headphones ---

This feature request already exists: > [@Please make Global EQ available for headphones](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/please-make-global-eq-available-for-headphones/10803/2): > > I agree. I’m not sure why the Global EQ doesn’t apply to headphones output as that is supposed to copy from output 1/2. Please use this link to vote on this request. Thanks! ---
