Sounds like it may be using the Generic Software device. What device is 
opened? Calling alcGetString with ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER on the opened device 
handle should say.

Also, are you using 32-bit or 64-bit Java? IIRC, the hardware OpenAL drivers 
only work on 32-bit, and 64-bit will only work through DSound/WinMM.

In that case, you could use my OpenAL Soft to get surround sound mixing. 
Unfortunately I haven't built a 64-bit DLL yet, so you or someone else would 
need to build it. There is an automated build here:
https://www.newdawnsoftware.com/hudson/view/OpenAL/job/OpenAL-win64/
however this is not done by me, and seems to be built with MinSizeRel instead 
of a fully-optimized Release build. Still, if you have 64-bit, it may be good 
enough.
