Yes, you need a 5.1 monitor controller. You don't need Dolby-branded hardware or software to work in 5.1. You do need bass management across all (5) satellite channels. This is typically done in the subwoofer in smaller studios (see Genelec subs), and more often done in the monitor controller or audio interface in bigger studios.

Re: 5.1 Surround Sound Workflow. Reply Contact. In 6.0 (haven't used 6.5) there is a bug regarding track order.

My experience is that 5.1 in avid is messed up. If you modify the clip to be 'film' order then I think you'll find it will come out in 'smpte' order. Beware doing audio mixdowns with a mixture of 5.1 and stereo / mono sources as you'll probably find the tracks reordered in ways that are not predictable. Any 5.1 mixdown will be set to 'film' order too.
