According to the log it looks like both soundcards configured correct:

3, SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro: USB Audio (hw:1,0)
HDA Intel: 92HD71B7X Digital (hw:0,1)

Please note that the cinnamon sound preferences interfere with the settings in MIxxx, do not touch them.
Be sure all sound card mixer controls are setup correct by starting "alsamixer" from the terminal.

By the way, it is not recommended to use two soundcards in Mixxx 1.11. It will likely produce clicks in the headphone because of the differences of the two clock sources.
From 1.12 alpha Mixxx is able to sync the soundcards correctly.

You will find optimized build in Nicos repro https://launchpad.net/~nschloe/+archive/ubuntu/mixxx-nightly

If it does not work you may attach a screenshot of your hardware preferences in Mixxx.

Please keep us updated in any case.
