My previous car had the 2 zone system and the only real difference for the purposes of this discussion was a single fan speed control rather than a left and right as with the 4-zone system
But, if I adjust the fan speed to 3, then adjust the direction of flow, then adjust the temp then the fan speed may change. Every other car that I have owned allows you to adjust the fan speed and if you do not press Auto then the fan speed doesn't change.

My far right vent went out on my A8, at least it didn't blow very hard if at all. I brought it in and found out that the motor that adjusts the air from the windshield, for defrost, to the vent, for AC, went out. My manufacture's warranty expired a week earlier but the extended warranty paid for it, $932.00 for parts and labor.

OP, It looks like I have the same problem as you (no air from outboard passenger vent). Since your repair fixed it, was it the same PN as listed previously? I'm hoping to DIY, since my 2013 is outside warranty. The defroster motor you mentioned sounds different from the vent assy PN.
