    You won't get a 5.1 output from the laptop, for that you would probably need a USB sound card.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    All laptops ive ever owned for the last 6 years has had a spdif out (either in mini optical or coax) so 5.1 sound on laptops isn't really an issue.

    although your speaks will need some sort of decoder. if they were super cheap they wont have one and you will need an external card to run every speaker.
