asus realtek hd audio manager jack retasking

I even tried to find the Windows Software used by the Microsoft users, called Realtek HD audio manager, and supposed to help decide what kind of jack you put in your motherboard. So far zippo: nothing in the BIOS, nor in PulseAudio control panel. Hence, I'm trying desperately to find how to make my MB/OS realize that I'm in a 5.1 config, and thus that I want the blue/line-in to behave as a rear/surround 5.1 jack entry, and same for the pink/mic, as an orange/bass-center, if you follow my wording. If I wanted to get hypothetically a 7.1 config to work (which I don't though ^^), apparently I'd have to set, in the BIOS I think, the front panel port entry, as the 'fourth port' aka as the port for the surround speakers (channel 7 and 8, considering the 5.1 has 6 of them technically, again *apparently*, coz if it's not clear at this point I'm a dabbler more than any kind of connoisseur, in sound technology)).

It happens that apparently my MB should handle 5.1, even 7.1, natively! Apparently the three ports on the back should, depending on the 'channel configuration' (2.1, 5.1, 7.1) behave differently, and if I'd be in an 5.1 config, the blue entry should work as a black one, and the pink as an orange one.
