Is this a brand new card? Try reinstalling the driver and if that doesn't work just return it. It's not worth the money anyway. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Right-click the speaker icon in the System Tray and select Playback Devices. Right-click the list of devices and select the option to show disabled devices. Look for the SoundBlaster, make sure it is enabled and set it as the default playback device. Other than that make sure you plugged your speakers into the correct port on the card. Also open the Volume Mixer and make sure you didn't mute the application you are trying to play from. Test with headphones if the speakers aren't working also.
