This is an Alienware MX17R3. Contra-check: There is no any problem under Win7 after dualboot. Alsa-base.conf: detection was generic intel, which were modified to "type = alienware" and connected Intel HDA settings, but Analog Output 5.1 setting does not appear neither in the sound menu nor in alsamixer, only digital outputs and SPDIFs. Only Analog stereo appears, which works as usual. Jacks are correctly connected (Alienware manual and experience). Built-in Microfon also works as usual. Issue: how to get 5.1 sound through jacks as analog output? This is a fresh install from scratch (11.10 default Unity).
