That sounds like fun. Yech.

Have you gone into the BIOS to disable the internal audio? You should not even use that in a machine used for audio when you have a soundcard. And set Windows Sounds to None.

With a Soundblaster I remember that it had a mixer that included "What You Hear". Go into the mixer and make sure there aren't any inputs turned up that should not be up.

If that doesn't help, can you give us info about the rest of your new computer?
