Have you tried using Creative's Audio Console that is in the program area of your start menu?

Otherwise you can try and change it via the Windows Sound control panel, as far as your actual player it needs to support 5.1 music playing, and then actually process the sound into 5.1, but make sure your speaker settings are set up permanently first.
