I'm also using an Creative 5.1 and I remember using the kernel 
bundled drivers without any problems, although I'm now running
the ALSA driver package which I'd probably recommend you'd do
as well.
There is a good ALSA HOWTO on linuxdoc.org and ALSA drivers can
be found at alsa-project.org

But anyways, you should make sure that the card is not muted.
I'd recommend trying out mp3blaster, just apt-get it and
try to play a file. If it fails, something is wrong with your
setup otherwise it probably is just muted in which case you
can use mp3blasters mixer to unmute it if I remember correctly.

Hope this helps,
