Can't control Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1

Hello.

I own Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1. I can play the audio but I cannot control it. I am using ALSA. Alsamixer has correctly recognized the card type but it also noticed that this sound device does not have any control. I was google for few days with no solution of the problem. When I run the speaker-test I hear just signal noise.

Please, have anyone a idea to help me? Feel free to tell me, which information do you need and how to get them.

Thank you for your time.

Use "wgetpaste" to  post the output of "amixer" to the web so we can see its output and help you further.

Here is the output of "amixer info" http://paste.pocoo.org/show/333140/

Outputs for "amixer", "amixer scontrols" and "amixer scontents" are empty.
