I have reacently bought a 5.1 multimedia speaker system, more precisely Edifier 5.1 M1550. My motherboard is ASUS H81M-K so I have 3 rear ports(light blue, lime and pink). I connected the front speakers to the lime jack. I have to connect center to the pink one and surround speakers to the blue one. I plugged them in but nothing appears on screen. In the menu of Realtek HD Audio Manager I can click on the lime one and this appears 1 but when I click on the pink one there is no menu 2. Why? I can't change the output.

That is because your motherboard doesn't support 5.1 audio system by default, if you check the manual of your motherboard your can find this:

Line In port (light blue): This port connects the tape, CD, DVD player, or other audio sources
Line Out port (lime): This port connects a headphone or a speaker. In 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel configurations, the function of this port becomes Front Speaker out.
Microphone (pink): This port connect the microphone

Manual can be found here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/H81M-K/E8601_H81M-K.pdf page 1-13

In that case, you need a converter or get a soundcard that support all those channels by default. Here is a list...

You can find there a lot of options, price rise with quality.
