Creative Audigy SE again

Hello all. I'm still having issues with my Creative Audigy SE card. The problem is I have output on every speaker but my card will only output mp3s in stereo (I think they are encoded that way). So I want to copy output from stereo to 5.1 sound (I have a Logitech X530 5.1 system). I have this in my .asoundrc:

pcm.dmixs51 {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1024
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"
        rate 48000
        channels 6
        period_time 0
        period_size 1024
        buffer_time 0
        buffer_size 4096
   }
}
pcm.duplicate {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmixs51"
    slave.channels 6
    route_policy duplicate
}

And in amarok under engine i have this:
Output plugin: ALSA

Alsa Device Configuration:
mono/stereo/4 channels/6channels - plug:duplicate
Speaker arrangement: 5.1

I am still gettin no sound on my front center, rear left and rear right. Can anyone help me with the setup? If you have a 5.1 system how did you work yo copy the output from 2 speakers to the others?

Thank you in advance
