With a new motherboard, you would be better off using the Integrated audio on the motherboard. It is as good, and maybe better, than the old technology SB Audigy sound card. It would eliminate some potential compatibility issues, too.

I have a new system with a Gigabyte GA-Z77X UD5H and it came with the SoundBlaster software enhancement add on to the RealTek Audio. I have a recording studio with high end recording studio hardware and speakers, but for PC sound uses the on-board RealTek works well.
