As far as I know the emu10k1 drivers that are included in the kernel will not work for the audigy.
Go here for an explanation of the emu10k1 alsa drivers:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Audigy+Platinum&chip=Audigy&module=emu10k1
If you're using the testing distribution you can download alsa-base, alsa-utils, and alsa-source using dselect or apt-get. Instructions on how to compile and install alsa-source (the drivers) are included in the package. If memory serves, the sources from the stable distribution didn't work for me, so if they don't work you may want to try downloading the drivers from http://www.alsa-project.org.

Hello debian-user, this is my first submission and is unfortunately due to the
most persistent aggrevating experience I have yet had with Linux. So far, I like
everything about Debian, except for that I can not get sound working. I have not
had this problem with any other distros on this machine (e.g. Red Hat, Mandrake,
Slackware), but I still have much faith in Debian.
My sound card is a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy MP3 and so the corresponding
driver should be emu10k1. I am running a 2.4.9 kernel and have tried compiling
the driver module directly into the kernel with no luck. So I currently have
the driver compiled as a separate loadable module, however no matter what I try,
I can not get it to load. Running $ modprobe -v emu10k1 I get the following
output:
siva:~# modprobe -v emu10k1
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o
Symbol version prefix ''
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
Ok, so I took the "Hint:" and ran $ lspci -v to obtain irq=5, io=0xd800. Now,
from here I may not know exactly what I'm doing, but I went ahead and ran $
modprobe -v emu10k1 irq=5 io=0xd800 and received:
siva:~# modprobe -v emu10k1 irq=5 io=0xd800
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o irq=5

/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
Well, now I'm fresh out of ideas. Could someone please help me?! I am dying to
get this working so that I can honestly proclaim Debian as the best OS.
