Sounds as though there's a conflict somewhere, have you checked to see that the drivers for your Sound Blaster card are compatible with the new operating system you're running.
I stopped using Sound Blaster cards quite some time ago, the main reason being that the software they came supplied with was getting to the point of being totally inaccessible, the Sound Blaster cards did strange things to the Windows volume control etc - that was quite some time ago I might add, back when I was using Windows XP. - I don't bother with any sound cards now on the Windows PC, the latest PC I bought - over a year ago - has multi sound devices built-in which work just fine, - several digital inputs and outputs and a couple of analogue inputs and outputs, several HDMI outputs etc -. If you need to buy a new Sound Card then they're amazingly cheap now, probably because most use the CPU to do all the processing, I'm looking at a very basic Asus card now for $25.00 which may suit your needs, they go up from there.
