i want to know that how can i get 5.1 audio out from my laptop.
Laptop - Asus G50 VT x6 which has a normal headphone audio out jack.
Have not decided on 5.1 speaker set as of now, need your inputs 1st. Though i might go for Z506.
Please suggest.

You need a mini toslink optical cable to get 5.1 out of your g50vt.

Thanks man !!
Any drop in Sound quality, and how much does this costs ? -
The sound quality is better than a typical headphone jack because it's digitally controlled pulses of red light that get sent out instead of an analog electrical signal.
However, this means you need a decoder so make sure whatever system you choose can support toslink/optical input! They are more expensive. If you're looking at PC speakers you're best off doing what AMRAAM suggested and getting a USB 5.1 sound card. -
Would Logitech Z506 do the work ?
-
No. The Z506 has 3.5mm plugs only (analog) and doesn't have anything to decode a digital output. You would need a sound card of some sort such as:
