Sound problems, X-fi OSS multichannel

Hello, I'm having a hard time trying to get a Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Audio to work. I've been searching all over the web and didn't find the answer. The problem is, I know I need OSS to make it work, I just installed and seems ok, but when I type osstest It only gives me sound on the front speakers, left right and stereo are fine, but the rear and center are not, I can't hear a thing. I tryed to use looped osstest and with the ossxmix on screen i switch avery possible option and bar i see and there's nothing but when i change the volume for rear and center I get the sound for a milisecond then the volume for those two goes down again, looks like "stuck" . I don't know what to do next. the ossmix output is:

Selected mixer 0/AudigyLS Mixer
Known controls are:
pcm [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 48:48)
rear [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 0:0)
center [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 0:0)
ext.spread ON|OFF (currently OFF)
ext.loopback ON|OFF (currently OFF)
ext.recordvol <monovol> (currently 255)
ext.recordsrc <MIC|LINE|AUX> (currently MIC)
ext.monitorvol <monovol> (currently 226)
ext.recmon ON|OFF (currently OFF)

vmix0-src <Fast|High|OFF> (currently Fast)
vmix0-outvol <monovol> (currently 12.0 dB)
vmix0-invol <monovol> (currently 9.9 dB)
vmix0.pcm4 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 14.6:14.6 dB)
vmix0.pcm5 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 15.2:15.2 dB)
vmix0.pcm6 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 11.7:11.7 dB)
vmix0.pcm7 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 12.3:12.3 dB)

I think is a configuration problem but I can't seem to find it :S
