No.

Soundblaster enables legacy sound support (16-bit) which basically allows you to play terribly old games which required to find sound hardware on a particular address and IRQ. Maybe some of the more experienced guys here can help you out more.

What I do know is, if you don't play old DOS games on your comp, you should keep it turned off to have a free IRQ.
