What is the exact type of your sound card?
What version of audigy?
Is it PCI or PCI express?
What is the output of "lspci" command related to your sound card?
Is there any IRQ conflict?

Try lsmod command on terminal / command line (as root user).
Perhaps you can try ubuntu LiveCD first.

PCI Version. (i'm not quite sure what exact version it is, is there a program to check this or do i gotta open my pc?)
Umm to my knowledge there is no IRQ Conflict (whatever that may be :S ).
In the settings my linux detects the sound blaster card (if that's of any importance).
I am using ubuntu livecd (well it's not live anymore
fully hdd installed).
What's this wiki link you gave me? Can i dl the driver or something?

Try to unmute / increase volume
Try the following command:
dmesg | grep -i IRQ
dmesg | grep -i audigy
dmesg | grep -i sound
dmesg | grep -i audio
dmesg | grep -i blaster
What is the output of lsmod / lspci related to the sound card?
Have you try the modprobe command on the link?

I believe there can be trouble with the Audigy, but it is relatively easy to fix. You need to go into the sound mixer and disable digital output. Sound should kick in right away.
