EAX has been around for a while, never had a value card before but it should be on there.

Did you install the latest drivers and software?

When I had vista it was hit oir miss whether or not a particular game would recognize that you had an EAX card. I have a creative soundblaster elite pro I was running into the same problems. Fear would sometimes recognize I had an eax card and sometimes not. The Witcher would never let me use EAX. I switched back to XP and everything now uses EAX wonderfully.:D

You're running an Audigy, so I'm not sure how well ALchemy Audigy Edition would work with it. All I do know is that EAX will not work in games under Vista if they use DirectSound to access EAX, unless you use ALchemy. Games that use OpenAL to access EAX, however, should still work normally.
