My motherboard has onboard sound (how original!), it's a Foxconn ELA (ICH10 I believe).
It has a digital out but in Ubuntu 10.04 I can only get stereo out no surround out? The box used to be dual boot with Windows and under Windows I could get my much loved 5.1 kit a 5.1 feed out from the box but now it cries in stereo.
I suspect this is because of this (http://i43.tinypic.com/nn5lq1.png)
This is a screen shot of my sound preferences, as you can see only stereo over digital is an option, why is this? Can I change this?

Sounds like you are hitting this bug

I don't run a Surround setup here so I have no idea if the suggested workarounds fix this
