No Sound on any zone (except the default player) from MC24 Ubuntu 16 & 18
percy:
Yes the configuration (both in Unix (Ubuntu both 16 & 18)) AND mc (BOTH 23 & 24) is exactly the same (identical). For Ubuntu this is obvious as I run MC23 & MC24 on the dame PC (and of course OS. I either start MC23 where everything works as expected or MC24) The configuration of MC24 is the restore from the backup which runs under MC23. So you may assume that the only difference is the MC23 to MC24 software. Where MC23 just as aplay work perfectly as expected on every device defined in /etc/asound.conf (sadly enough not yet on MC24).

Like I said before, it's not useful to compare to MC23.
Try this:
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/test/MediaCenter-24.0.37-3-amd64.deb
There is more debugging info in the log.
percy:
I Solved the problem. I attached the log from the successful run.
The solution is to set in the MC24 Tools -> Options-> Audio -> DSP & Output Format -> Output Format device of the "Zone to Configure" to either 7.1 (2 channels in 7.1 also works)
From what I see in the log it is not the bitrate that causes the problem (the 19200 in the MC24 configuration is consistent with the 19200 in the /etc/asound.conf configuration for the DMIX plugin of the XONAR card/device.
The problem is that it refuses to set the device to 2 channels (thinking only exactly 8 channels is possible Min & Max are both 8 ).
Although I select 7.1 channels in MC24 it only play sound through the 1 or 2 channels split out from that device in defined in my /etc/asound.conf.
So that solved the problem, simply set the output format in MC24 to the total number of channels the specific sound card device possesses and not the number of channels required.

That makes sense, the last change I made was to look and display in the log the number of channels that are allowed by ALSA.
I think that if you define your pseudo devices specifying 2 channels (or 1 in the cases they are mono) you could get it to work as well.
percy:
The pseudo device "xonar_brown_black" is defined as having 2 channels (ttable parameter defines which 2 channels from the "xonar_dmix" plug in)
If I change the "channels 8" in the slave definition of the "plug" type "xonar_brown_black" pseudo device then it doesn't function again.
--- Code: ---pcm.xonar_brown_black {
type plug
slave {
pcm "xonar_dmix"
channels 8
}
ttable.0.2 1 # in-channel 0, out-channel 2, 100% volume
ttable.1.3 1 # in-channel 1, out-channel 3, 100% volume
