I have an emu10k1/Audigy setup and it never had sound at a reboot/log 
out/Ctl-Alt/B-space,
I found that a default setting in the mixers - 
alsamixer;gnome-alsamixer;kmix;aumix labeled
'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack' if checked=no 
sound;unchecked=sound,I don't know if
SBLive has any similar settings but its worth experimenting with.
