The sound controller is a Realtek ALC892 built-in to my mobo(Gigabyte P55A-UD3). When I go into the Sound options in Ubuntu I don't see a 5.1 profile listed under the Hardware tab, only stereo(and that works fine). I'm connecting the speakers using 3 analogue audio cables, I have tested and they work fine under Windows. Granted, a dedicated sound card would probably produce better quality audio but coming from built in monitor speakers and not being concerned with studio quality sound, I couldn't be happier.I've been trying to get my surround sound(5.1) to work for the past couple of of days, followed a number of guides, but nothing seems to get it working at all. I have no way of confirming what I have just written but all I can say is that it works - like a charm - and it was ridiculously simple. I'm going off my initial assumption here that since the jacks have 3 poles like a standard stereo jack, the motherboard can send the correct signal for whatever speaker down either the L or R and that it can reassign mic and line in as required for true 5.1 surround sound. So the TL : DR is: true 5.1 audio does work out of a PC with just 3 3.5mm audio jacks. I was the presented with a graphical representation of my speaker arrangement and sure enough, every speaker worked independently of one another and correctly. I then connected the orange one into line in and it asked what I had connected again so I selected 'Centre/Subwoofer' and finally I connected the black one to mic and when prompted again I selected 'Rear Speakers'. So I plugged the obvious green one into the back of the PC and a handy MSI themed Realtek HD Audio Manager dialogue box popped up asking what I had just connected so I selected 'Front Panel Audio'. On the rear for 6 channel audio it only had 3 standard 3.5mm audio jacks (which was a promising start since that was how I had surmised it must work with my motherboard). Decided to take the plunge despite not knowing if it worked and bought a PC specific 5.1 surround sound system the Logitech Z506. Got this sorted - couldn't have been easier.
