These configurations refers to the distinct sound channels with the number after the decimal refeerring to the low-frequency effects channel. So a 7.1 comes with 7 full channels and 1 low frequency effects channel. Currently however, most movie soundtracks are released in the 5.1 channel and a few in 7.1 channel.
