You need a 5.1 sound card like creative x-fi 5.1 usb.

if you want real 5.1 audio output from your laptop get ready to spend ~4000 for creative x-fi usb mentioned above but if you can do with fake 5.1 audio output then many options are available for 1000 & less.

Get this: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro 24-bit USB External Sound Card | eBay
