When you refer to IC9, do you mean to say Pins 4 & 8?
If there is a short across IC9, the voltage you measured across ZD5 would be near zero, not the 12.67 volts you stated in post #34. IC9 is supplied by the combination ZD4-24v(your measurement is .786 volts) and ZD5-12v. You should see 36 volts between Pin 8 & Pin 4, instead your seeing 13.456 volts, which is nearly a third of the proper operating voltage.
The measured voltage across ZD3 in your post #34 is 2.267 volts not the 12 volts you should see. ZD4 measuring .786 volts is in series with ZD3. The addition of ZD4 and ZD3 = 3.053 volts, again well below the proper operating voltage for the IC's. The zener diode ladder supply ZD3,ZD4,ZD5 are all in series and supply IC9,IC10,IC11 and they are in effect the heart of the class D amp.
Because ZD3 and ZD4 are abnormally low means that C61-100nf is bad. Even though C61 reads 100nf with your capacitance's meter doesn't mean it will fail in circuit. I have seen this failure many times!! I'm very confidant this will fix this problem, there may be other issues, but you should replace C61. I would also replace C62 and C63, all 100nf.
C60 is a .1uf Capacitor. Replace this cap with an NPO specification. This is the circuit that generates the PWM and this capacitors is a critical part.

If you remove IC10, what are the voltages across ZD3 & ZD4?
Ignore my question, I missed your post #45

Without power applied measure with an ohmmeter from Pin 7 and then Pin 1 of IC11-LM393 and the Power Ground Terminal. Post what you find.
It's possible that IC11 has failed. The output of Pin 7 IC11 feeds the input of Pin 3 IC14-IRS20957.
D103-BAT54C is connected between Pin 3 IC14/PIN 7 IC11 and Power Ground.
You may find that one or all three need to be replaced.

When you say Pin to are you referring to Pin 7?
You may want to replace IC14-IRS20957 and maybe D103- BAT54C.
I'm a bit stomped. The power supply works, The PWM works, You have Drive out of IC11 Pin 1 but not Pin 7.
There may be something in the in the output on the IC14 side, that's dragging down the drive. If replacing IC14 you still don't have drive, take a close look at the outputs for shorted output devices or broken leads, traces,bad solder joints, open gate resistors, bad gate drivers.
