Yes, it does.

I am not sure if a drawing helps here, because it would not describe the symptoms. I'll try to present the situation and symptoms in simple words again:

Situation 1: headphone cue signal works, no chance to get samplers to the VMS2
================================================================
- no master, no headphone, no left, no center, no right
- deck A -> VMS 2 channels 1+2 and
- deck B -> VMS 2 channels 3+4
- the crossfader to the right (deck B), no hamster.
- both channel faders at 0 (down)

I have my headphone and my master attached to the VMS2 (i.e. it is doing its own channel mix).

Now I press "CUE" on the controller for the left channel (deck A). The MIDI signal is transmitted properly, the CUE button in the GUI is set to "on". And I hear that channel on the headphones, great. Means: the audio signal for deck A (left) actually arrives at the VMS2. In this situation, cueing of both, left or right channel, does not depend on the crossfader or channel fader position, as it should be.

Situation 2: headphone cue signal broken, and I can get samplers to the VMS2
==============================================================
- no master, no headphone, no center, no deck A, no deck B
- left -> VMS 2 channels 1+2 and
- left -> VMS 2 channels 3+4

In this situation the headphone cue signal is gone. There is no cue/preview signal for e.g. the left side with either the left channel fader being set to 0 *or* the crossfader being set to the right. In this situation, the audio signal for both left and right "cue" or "preview" corresponds *directly* to the channel fader and crossfader setting, i.e. whatever you hear on the headphone is already on master. No preview possible. There seems to be nothing left for the VMS2 to be played on the headphones if crossfader or channel fader say so.

Looks like the VMS2 simply does not retrieve any signal on e.g. "left" in case of left channel fader being set to 0 *or* the crossfader being set to the right, so there is nothing for it to preview. This seems to be fundamentally different when I assign deck A in the hardware config: in this case, the signal arrives at for the VMS2 to preview, even if the faders mute it.
