AFAIK, the behaviour of the switch is consistent accross all the audigy
cards. If you're using Digital Speakers connected to the digital output
of the card, you have to set it. Otherwise, don't set it. It's setup
dependant. IMHO you can't do anything about that. [ IIRC, even the OSS
driver has this 'problem'. ]
