Sib. 8.x: Sib 8, Kontakt 6, Xsample, no sound

Sib 8, Kontakt 6, Xsample

I am setting up a manuscript paper in Sib 8 to play Xsample sounds thru the full version of Kontakt 6.
I have attached this Manuscript paper.

I think I have everything set up correctly in the correct folders. Perhaps not.
From what I understand, Xsample is supposed to play without me opening Kontakt and choosing it.
I have chosen Kontakt in each mixer slot and (I think) the corresponding Xsample instrument allocation.
But there is no sound. Help?

Why does this occur in the Mixer:
The pan pots and volume sliders for Solo Vln (2 staves) move only with the same for Vln 2.
The 2 Bass pan pots and volume sliders move only with the same for Click.
Shoudn't all pan pots and volume sliders move individually?

Thanks, NP

Sibelius 8.x is not compatible with Kontakt 6.
You need Sibelius 2018.11 or higher in order to use Kontakt 6.
For versions of Sibelius earlier than 2018.11 you need to use Kontakt 5.

How many staves are there in the score?
How many instances of Kontakt are activated in the right-hand column of "Playback Devices"?

It's impossible to advise fully without having full details of the Playback Configuration (starting with a screen-shot of the various tabs of "Playback devices").
