You think you are getting the same card, but you are not. I've been bitten by that one too. The only thing I can suggest is to try Mandrake Control Center > Hardware > Hardware then select the unrecognised card and attempt to run a manually installed driver (Run Config Tool > Let me pick any driver). There is an Audigy driver, snd-emu10k1 and emu10k1. The first two are alsa drivers, I believe, and the last one an OSS driver. If none of them work you are probably stumped.
There is a troubleshooting section, but it won't help you until you get the card recognised. BTW - you were right the first time - disable the on-board soundcard. If you can't get the audigy working, though, you may have to take it out and try the onboard sound. I always disabled them until recently, but they are not bad these days.
