Not that this option is up your alley, because of price, but if you were to go with a USB optical device, such as the turtle beach audio advantage micro like I have. You would be able to produce 5.1 sound in conjunction with a receiver/EQ like the Alpine PXA-H701 w/ RUX-C701. Also the Alpine EQ/processor drives the amplifiers before going to your speakers. That is currently how I am using my notebook with my new configuration that I'm setting up.

Price drawbacks as I mentioned earlier: the Alpine products are aprox $800-900 retail or $500-600 possibly on ebay, the need for an optical cable $30-100, Plus various cost for Amplifiers and speakers combinations.

It may be a lot, but I get exellent quality sound that way and I sure think it was well worth the investment.
