Just experiment Junior, like I did, with and without audio and with receiver at a distance to get the best sound you can.
Antenna position, including being as far from sources of interference (power cords, power supplies etc) is also a big thing to consider.

only the volume out is on the PC, other settings are on the FM Tx and vary between brands

Jason insists that you need to use the Soundblaster. I don't know if he has stock in Creative :) I get similar output from an even cheaper USB sound module...

lol, maybe he does.
I didn't notice any difference between my laptop sound card and the soundblaster, but others have said the soundblaster is an improvement over the built-in Pi sound chip.

the cze-05b has a little instruction leaflet , I had the same issue , the fix was to turn the volume down out of the pi and use the volume on the transmitter to adjust , I think if you have the volume too high on the pi/pc it overdrives the transmitter
