Daniele, Normally I would have jumped in earlier to help, but I am swamped, between my real job (non-alsa related), school (BS IT degree program), and recent flooding activity in Oregon a couple of weeks ago. What I can do, is ask you to download and run http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh . Also, rebuild the modules with "./configure --with-cards=snd-hda-intel --with-debug=detect" and load them with "model=auto". This will leave output in dmesg as to what the driver finds in bios. It's not always reliable, but it helps. As to 5.1 surround, the only way to get 6 channel output would be through the SPDIF port, as it acts as a digial passthrough. If your system has a subwoofer, it is very likely tied into the main speaker out, just like the 2.1 speakers you can get at most stores.
