There seems to be a strange issue with Amnesia accepting my 5.1 surround.
Whenever I start it up from Steam, it gives me options to choose my audio output, so I choose my Creative XFi Titanium 5.1 analogue output... when it goes into the game itself, I get nothing from my LFE (subwoofer)(the sound comes from all the other speakers but it seems a bit quiet).
From alsamixer and pulsedaemon, all the channels and remixing are allowed so that every other program works like a charm.
The solution for this, I found out, is to go to the terminal and type:

cd [path to amnesia]/Amnesia\ The\ Dark\ Descent/
ln -sf all/libopenal.so.1 libs64
./Launcher.bin64

That way it starts the launcher and I can select ALSA output which gives me 5.1. And right now I saved it as a script and I start the game from that script every time... however this way Steam doesn't "count" the game as running.
