Well I seem to have fixed this issue. I did not build the driver into the kernel. Instead I just went ahead and fired up synaptic and reinstalled every package that was found by searching the name and description for "alsa". I didn't bother uninstalling, just went ahead and reinstalled them. Rebooted the system, not technically necessary, but easiest way for my lazy self. Going into System-->Preferences-->Sound I set the device to "Audgy 1[SB0090] (Alsa mixer)". Clearly this device will vary depending on your hardware, choose the Audigy card. From there I set all of the options above to ALSA. The last step I took was to open gnome-volume-control, made sure that File-->Change Device had the Audigy card selected, then on the switched tab de-selected the Analog/Digital Output option as I am not using a digital output. You should have this selected ONLY if you are using an optical or digital coaxial output AFAIK.

Seeing as how I had a similar issue as many others here I hope that this helps you guys out as well.

Cheers,
Matt
