does anyone one know if the new macbook is capable of being connected to a surround sound system? Also is the sound dolby digital quality 5.1 surround? and finally if this is possible, what cables would I need?

This is what the tech specs say:
# Combined optical digital audio input/audio line in (minijack)
# Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack)

Thanks in advance for any help : )

To get surround sound you need to connect the MacBook to a surround system with a Dolby Digital and/or a DTS decoder using a Toslink optical audio cable.

The end that goes into the MacBook needs to be a mini toslink (miniplug) so I recommend you to get a toslink cable that can convert between toslink and mini toslink like this one:
