No Sound on any zone (except the default player) from MC24 Ubuntu 16 & 18
percy:
Is there any progress on this. Can I try anything to make it work on MC24.
If I invoke a playback on one of the sound devices defined in /etc/asoud.conf it works perfectly proving that on the Ubuntu side all is well (Else MC23 wouldn't work, or would it).
--- Code: ---aplay -D xonar_brown_black /home/percy/JustUs.wav
Playing WAVE '/home/percy/JustUs.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
--- End code ---
The same file works ok in MC23 and pops-up the error message in MC24 (with the same configuration since that was restored from a library backup of the working MC23 on the same machine).
I would be very grateful for any hint or solution.

1) In MC's audio device selection, if there is a blank description of the device, MC23's descriptions are OFFSET by the number of those blank entries from the actual device that description is referring to. This means if you are trying to compare MC24 and MC23 device opening you need to use the device name to compare, NOT the description (i.e. hw:CARD=PCH, DEV=0 ....)
2) MC24 has direct DSD support. That required changes in the device handling. There is no going back to MC23's method of opening the device.
3) It WORKS here on MC24 and Ubuntu 18 so there is something about your configuration that slipped by MC23's method of opening the device but doesn't with MC24.
Did you try the latest beta (24.0.35)? If not please do. In any case post a new log since there were some changes made to the device open since your last log.
percy:
The version installed is the latest beta (24.0.35)?
I attached the log.txt file (in which I deleted most as it tends to get huge (multi MB) in very short time. I hope I catched the essential bit of which I inserted (as far as I can geuss) the part where it has the problem.

When I select the device in MC24 (as in MC23) I select the audio device (Not the description) which I defined in my asound.conf
So for the 2 channels (stereo) in the Bureau I select "xonar_brown_black" from the device list in MC24.
For the speaker in the "Keuken" (Kitchen) I select 1 channel (mono) I select "intel_orange_B" as device in MC24
in "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" I added at the end.
I have also attached the complete "alsa-base.conf" (as "alsa-base.txt") in case you want to investigate something in there.

The "/etc/asound.conf" is also attached (as asound.txt)
Thanks again for all your effort in trying to help me with this nasty problem.
bob:
I really don't know much of anything about redescribing devices using alsa.conf but it appears like your configuration isn't allowing the device to be opened as a 2 channel device which I assume your source material is or it wouldn't be trying to open it as 2 channels.
You might try testing this by using the output format in DSP studio to set the output to 7.1 for the 8 channel devices and 1 for the mono device.
percy:
But if i open that same device with the linux ALSA aplay it plays the music file on the requested 2 channels without any problem. And so does MC23! That is the reason which make me belive that the problem is somewhere in MC24. If you provide me with cat /proc/asound/cards output. Then i can provide you with the corresponding /etc/asound.conf file so jou can try it out on your system. Then maybe we can get a more detailed error info.
