Have you checked your sound settings in control panel. get to the 'Sounds and Audio Devices' settings. Under the speaker settings section (bottom part of the window), hit advanced. Then select the 5.1 setting, then hit OK for all the windows, then try to play some audio.

Run a white noise speaker test and see if each speaker is working correctly. If they are, then you have to play something that was recorded in Surround Sound. Music CD's aren't SS while many movies and games are.
