OK, I have found out why - an alsa-devel patch changed to be more specific on 
the chipset/model - more here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111209948526203&w=2

It turns out my card isn't in the ID list, so it gets given an 'unknown'.  As 
this changed from 2.6.11.12, alsamixer then reset (effectively a new card!) 
so I had to reset all my mixer settings again - I would look at your mixer 
settings for the surround sound settings (mute etc.).

Here is a page with the ID and chipsets of the cards:

http://www.digit-life.com/articles/livetolive51/

I am going to attempt to add my card into emu10k1_main.c to get it set right:

0 [Unknown        ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live [Unknown]
                     SB Live [Unknown] (rev.7, serial:0x80611102) at 0xe000, 
irq 5

SB0060 - SBlive! Value (PCI\VEN_1102&DEV_0002&SUBSYS_80611102)
