Problems trying to use ProFX to get 3 independent stereo channels. (Need help ASAP)

Ok, im trying to learn more about this DSP configuring...I can do a lot of things with it now and alot of the features are very nice. I heard that i could use less resources by using ProFX(SRC, ASIO, ect.). Soooo, i started toying around with it. I saw in another thread (No Bass in HL2) that i could use crossover to get bass signals send to my sub from the rear speakers. I did that fine and dandy, by using the regular plugins (epilog, xrouting, etc.). But i cant do this with ProFX plugins because whenever i tried to setup the redirection from my center speakers AND my rear speakers, it would affect my 2 front speakers. This is my setup, I have two front speakers that are well capable of providing their own bass. I have 3 satellites...one for center and 2 for rear. I want to get the redirection from those 3 satellites without disturbing the bass from my two front speakers. Because whenever i turn the sub or the front speakers higher they mess with each other.(like if i turn the sub louder, then the bass from my two front speakers with get lowered, and if i turn my front speakers louder...then the bass from the sub gets lower and i cant hear the redirection from the rear speakers or the center ones). So i figured it was because with the default routings, ProFX uses Wave 0/1 (right?) and if i tried to redirect the bass then it would affect the others because they were all being processed together. Now i want to get 3 independant stereo channels so they wont have any effect on each other. The prob with this though, is that i cant seem to get it right. I dont have any experience with KX Router and some with ProFX. I cant seem to get the Wave 4/5 is routed to 'front', Wave 6/7 - to 'rear', Wave 8/9 - to 'center+subwoofer'.

I can only use the FXBus 0/1 to use for my 5.1 system.
So im like,

CAN SOMEBODY PLZ HELP ME ASAP!!!!

Actually its seems like it does work...but only for *true* 5.1 things...like half life 2

lol, ummm but i dont get ANY sound when im listening to mp3's and such.
i thought they were 2 channel...so why cant i hear them through my front speakers at least

EDIT: LOL
actually, that just started working too...out of no where mind you

EDIT #2:
It seems that this setup doesnt work in all games...why is that?
Im talking specifically abotu battlefield 2
and it only works in hl2 if i enable "snd_digital 1" or something like that
anyway to force this setup to work in games that dont let you "enable" this type of surround sound(3 independant stereo channels)

Ok I've attempted to make a DSP setup where you can have separate bass redirection for your Center, Rear, and LFE speakers. This setup includes FX Bus 0/1, so you can play .mp3s via WMP. If you add another instance of ProFX source, set it to FX Bus 2/3, and connect it to the MX6, you can also play MIDI files in a program such as WMP.

Use the top instance of Surrounder for bass control of the front channel/speakers, and the bottom Surrounder for bass control of the C, R, and LFE channels/speakers.

Test and see if it works. Stereo sources audio is copied to all speakers when you use a normal Surrounder setup, so I dont think you can get separate bass redirection of Center, Rear, and LFE when playing stereo sources using the "surround on" feature of a normal Surrounder setup. A more experienced user can correct me if I'm wrong.

Furthermore, this DSP setup only allows for stereo playback of stereo sources played by a program such as WMP, but you get 5.1 surround playback for files that are in 5.1. See the kX Preset Exchange System site for the DSP preset: http://my.kxproject.lugosoft.com/uploads.php

I'm using an Audigy SB0092 kX10k2
