Scott:

That's what I thought - no headphone out on the 2496.

I e-mailed EMU about replacing the Audiodock (external box that has the phone connection), and this is their reply:

When I checked their online store, it appears that they don't have any 1820M Audiodocks - just the 1820.

And the one online review of the 1820 doesn't inspire me to stay with EMU: http://us.store.creative.com/EMU-1820-Di...rsReviewsWidget

So I guess I'll be looking for a while if the repair doesn't work.
