I've just taken a look at the kernel source for the kernel that comes with Mandrake and it already has support for the Audigy - and if I remember correctly, the A2 actually uses the same core chip. Try, as root, typing modprobe audigy and then play some file. Also, ensure your volumes are set up. Many distros mute by default. I know it sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people get caught out by this!
