If you're going from a headphone out jack to the sound board, then I'm pretty sure that signal will be too hot. Try splitting the signal before you go to the headphone amp.

Before:
DI-->headphone amp-->soundboard????

After:
DI-->soundboard
  \-->headphone amp.

If you are already doing that, then I don't know or I don't understand the question.

Are you using the XLR/DI out?
