Yes, you need to reinstall the drivers, and make sure your using the Vista drivers so as Shadowpr said. The driver CD will most likely not work, since those are going to be XP drivers, and not all XP drivers are compatible with Vista.

Also, note that you will NOT get any hardware acceleration for audio or EAX under Vista. You will need Alchemy if you intend to enjoy any games that use Direct3D for audio (OpenAL titles will do just fine, AFAIK). Unfortunately, Alchemy is only free for X-Fi cards (some), and Audigy owners will have to shell out 10 dollars for it.
