Analog audio ports

[Firestrider]

I'm looking at a motherboard that says it supports 8-channel (5.1+ 2 independent multi-streaming) audio, but it only has three ports (pink, lime green, and light blue).

My speakers have the TRS connectors for orange, black, and lime green. Would I lose my 5.1-channel capability with this motherboard?

Many times when you plug in speakers to the Pink and Blue ports, you will get a wizard that will pop up asking what to assign them to. This is how they make the 5.1, but you lose the Mic and Line In.

R.F.M. interfaceing problem... what does the instruction manual have to say about the issue?
