"HDMI supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD for 7.1-channel sound"
Since it supports 7.1, it should also support 5.1.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison
Look at the table to see how many channels are supported by each HDMI version.
As to what, if any, audio is supported by the backpanel connectors for
your motherboard depends on what that motherboard chose to support.
You'll have to lookup the specs on your motherboard.

Also, just because the mobo had HDMI audio support at its connector
doesn't mean audio is supported at the other end of the HDMI cable, like
at your monitor. You need to investigate what the hardware supports at
each end of the HDMI cable.

My reason for asking: Running on a basic laptop - Acer Aspire 5 - and recently upgraded froma pair of cheap external speakers to a Klipst
stereo plus subwoofer. Makes a great difference just adding better bass
to stereo. That got me thinking about the great 5.1 setup I had with my
tower I no longer have. That mobo had all the plugs, etc. for true 5.1. I would have to at a minimum add some software to deliver 5.1 sound, and
just wanted to make sure HDMI can handle it.

Sound on Windows, has almost as sad a history as sound on Linux (PulseAudio). There was at least one competing sound standard, that might have concentrated on the sound aspect and not the ego of the developer.
So if you can't figure out, at a given instant, why the sound
seems "goofy" and not a correct projection, sound has a long
history, and lots of twists and turns.
