Well i restarted and the alsa showed up in the xmms output plugin and i selected it but theres only sound coming out of two speakers and i have a 5.1 Creative Soundblaser LIve Card so i should be getting sound out of atleast 4 speakers....so any ideas why its not workin??

Hmm..

Two possibilities

1) Check the alsa project for the supported features of your soundcard. Maybe they haven't got 5.1 working yet.

2) Try another media player. The mplayer.dsl extension should work because it is also used to play movies that have surround sound in their soundtracks.
