Often problems with distortion come when the PCM channel is too high. Try setting your PCM volume at 50%, and use your Master volume mixer to change the volume.
If the level on come channels won't change at all, that's another problem, that I'm not sure how to fix. My favorite mixer program that you may want to try is Aumix, if yours is giving you trouble.
Good luck

I've got a problem with the volume control taskbar applet in FC3/Gnome 2.8. I've got the EMU10K1 drivers installed, they work with my audigy, and I can adjust the volume correctly in alsamixer. However, the volume control always shows the volume as being off, not muted, just completely silent. Trying to change it doesn't work, as it immediately reverts to the lowest setting (not that any of this actually changes the *actual* volume.

I tried those: they made noise, but it was really loud and distorted. I also tried "dsp1", which was really quiet, but still distorted. Hmmmm....If you haven't tried these already, I'd go with /dev/dsp
or /dev/sound/dsp.
