Ok. I tested both Out A and Out B on the chip to an amp and theyre both fine.

Could it be the component at Q6? Labelled 6B. Someone said its a muting transistor and maybe it blew when I used mono headphones.

Usually, in a repair shop we would be using an oscilloscope to trace where the signal is going.
With no oscilloscope at hand a second-rate substitute would be an audio amplifier such as a PC audio amp.
I will assume that you know the part number of the headphone amplifier and that you have access to the circuit diagram. Best of all is to have the circuit diagram on the actual device, i.e. the drum kit.

Is the circuit on post #2 an accurate representation of your circuit?
