Using the Sound Output Configure.vi, there is an input called sound format which is a cluster containing 3 elements. One of these elemenst is number of channels. Looking at the detailed help on this shows that "number of channels specifies the number of channels. This input can accept as many channels as the sound card supports. For most sound cards 1 is Mono and 2 is Stereo." If your sound card suppots more channels, then you can change this input to however many you want.
Note I have not tried this as I don't have a 7.1 capable sound card, but the documentation seems pretty sound (no pun intended).

Hi
It is issue/bug with LabVIEW with Windows7 and above OS that it cannot configure the sound card for more than 2 channel. If the need is to use for multi channel(>2 channels) better to try using some 3rd part support like http://www.zeitnitz.de/Christian/waveio.
The above DLL from Christian works very well and also be aware to licences it.
