Audigy 2 - have tried everything I can find

I recently bought an Audigy 2 sound card. 

I have downloaded the drivers from 
opensource.creative.com, compiled them
and installed. Added the aliases to the modules
files, but didnt work.

I have found different setups for the modules.conf
file on the net. And I have tried all of them I could find.

And, i have seen where some have gotten it to work 
with downloading the main.c file from CVS. Compiling it 
and installing, added the lines ( all i found ) to the 
modules.conf file. But still no sound.

I have tried Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat 8.0 with no luck.
Everything starts ok and with no errors. And the player 
plays with no sound.

I have read through this list trying to find some answers,
and tutorials, but everything thing that I have found, doesnt 
work.

My question is: Is there a sure fire way to get the card to work??

If you need any info on the computer , just let me know, and
I will get it for you.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I have spent 3 days on this. Thank you in advance.
