If u find out.Do let me know here.
Actually im facing the same prob. I've downloaded latest audio drivers from intel's site that play 5.1 audio during test but fail to do so while playing any song.

yes...you can add 5.1 sound system in intel's latest boards....I have 2 PC which have D945 GTP and D945 GNT.....which use sigmatel Intel Audio Studio software/driver....

In Default mode (Stereo speakers for 2.1 setup) the rear 3 jacks are acting as

Pink-->Microphone
Green--->Line Out for speakers
Blue---> Line In

When you Select 5.1 Speakers by dropdown menu in the sound driver /Software (SigmaTel Intel Audio Studio) it become:

Pink-->Rear Surround
Green-->Front
Blue--->Center/Sub woofer

Besides this you can cofigure it for 4.1 and headphone mode also.

When you select 4.1 Mode

Pink--->Rear Surround
Green-->Front
Blue--->Line In

I don't know about Intel D102GGC2

As i've written, all speakers play during the demo done by software/driver, but fail to do so while playing any song.

Have u downloaded the latest sound drivers frm Intel Website. if yes , then u have to change the audio I/O to 6 Channel in the audio manager(the orange speaker icon at the right bottom of ur screen). then only u can listen to 5.1 channe. Also don't use, winamp. use either wm or power DVD.
About Pinnacle, it's worst, i bought it coz, i'd heard bout the features like, time shift, live TV pause etc. but they r also not workin.
there's no need to spend more money on pinnacle, just go 4 some other TV card with more features.
