Need more info.
You have to select the motu as your operating systems default audio output.

First and foremost- make sure the Motu unit is on. If you plug your phones into your interface (you likely do) you want to do what was suggested above^ which is to set your interface as the default audio output device. After you do that, device manager will see your interface as the "speakers" out, and this is correct.
Also, make sure you have your mute buttons off in Cubase....sounds silly, but sometimes a clip signal (and other things) will automatically mute your headphone out to preserve your ears. Nice feature.

Can you hear audio through your 'phones while working in Cubase?

Just humor me and check that in device manager- your Motu is seen as the Speaker out (not the headphone out). Better yet, click your sound icon on the lower right of your taskbar (what you use to adjust the computer's volume) and what sort of icon does it have at the top of the sound bar? Hover over it- what does it say?

Ah yes, I suppose we should have sorted that first! What operating system are you using?

I know where you're coming from; I've had similar problems, and it can be very frustrating.

Cool. So you're up and running, now? You probably clipped, and it muted your headphone out to save your ears. Or.....who knows(!?).
Later.
