Does Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi surround 5.1 works??

Hi, i'm quite new to the forum so if i make some mistake please forgive me.

I'va got an audio surround system that i was using with Windows, now i totaly switched to Linux but my Creative Sound Blaster Z doesn't  want to use all speakers under Linux (I guess the Driver for this card can't handle a 5.1).
So i'm thinking to buy a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi surround 5.1 but i don't know if it actually works or not, do you know if it works?
Thank you for the help.

Apparently the fixes for Creative Sound Blaster Z should be in kernel 4.18. Maybe you have to do some volume settings and unmuting with alsamixer?
