  | | You may not be covering the holes fully. There's quite a stretch on the lower notes, and if you are only used to descant, you may find it difficult at first. Play a C (the fingering that would be a G on a descant), then start adding fingers one at a time. Don't worry about the pitch, but check is the tone OK after each time you add a finger. If so, then it is a fingering problem.
If it's not a fingering problem then I'm afraid I can't help you.

| | Gnomon makes a good point. Something else you might try is practising the troublesome notes in front of a mirror - see if you can see any obvious gaps.
A very useful exercise is to heave a sigh both with, and without the instrument to your lips. Note the way that the sound changes as the instrument is first overblown and finally underblown.
