That is the same hardware I have.

The sound system should run with the

module. Once loaded I see :

I have never tried to get 5.1 sound working, stereo works perfectly. That module is used by many sound cards, you probably have in on the system already. If not it should be available from synaptic.

Yes but only the front, and the subwofer works, from the center and the back i don't get sound, and i want sound from all the system. I'm not satisfied with only 2 speakers and the subwofer working.
