Is this a recent Mac Pro?
Assuming you're using the headphone jack at the front of the machine, you shoul dnot have had to configure anything from the default settings to get the standard playback from iTunes. Without knowing what you've fiddled with, it'll be hard to trouble shoot, but if you're serious about audio on what is a very high-end machine, you should definitely make sure you know what you're doing there - you can opitmise the output for headphones for example.
Is it possible you've plugged your headphones into the wrong port at the back?
