Hi.

The Generic Software device can only handle mono and stereo output. Using 
Creative's drivers, if you don't have a card capable of hardware DSound3D or 
native OpenAL, it will automatically use Generic Software.

Alternatively you can use OpenAL Soft, which should be able to detect the 5.1 
setting in the system config and automatically do 5.1 output. You can find it
