I hope that was marginaly coherent...
If your motherboard does not advertise 5.1, and your soundcard does not advertise 5.1 features, then 5.1 headphones arent going to do anything for you
If your motherboard or soundcard does say 5.1, then you'll likely have 3x 3.5mm jacks round the back, 1 for headphones, 1 for line out/in, one for mic. And those are what you use for 5.1, since each port has 2 channels, 2x3 = 6 = 5 .(+) 1. And thats what those 3 jacks are about.
