ok, I found it. I had to go into alsamixer and change the default card of Pulseaudio to SBLive and then change the volume on the Surround control. No idea why it was turned down to 13%. This control is completely hidden from PulseAudio... Also, I had to kill the pulseaudio server and run pavucontrol to get my hardware device back.
