I've seen lots of problems with this around, unfortunately I have it as well. I am basically a linux newbie and i'm trying for the life of me to get some sound out of my Audigy 2 value. Please be patient with me and if anyone has any suggestions or had the same problem, please, let me know. Thanks.
Try to mute spdif output from alsamixer. This way I got my sound work. It looks like you have the same prob. Or if you have speakers that use spdif, unmute spdif channel.
If you enter alsamixer in a terminal, you'll get a display with sliders. Look for things muted that shouldn't be (link above has a good rundown) and check that spdif setting.
When you search the forums for solutions, you don't need to have a solution fit you exactly for it to work.
