I had this problem for a long time. I tried a lot of fixes, but I think what solved it was installing PulseAudio. This is the default audio server in Hardy, and I can confirm that Hardy Alpha 6 recognizes my 5.1 setup correctly by default. (Gutsy does not; only stereo functioned correctly before, as described in this bug.)
