I have a similar observation here, allthough you can hear the
"noisy mouse" only when the mixer settings vol is 100. In my
opinion, this seems to be a kind of electromagnetic
interference, but I didn't test this theory yet. Or it has to
do with data fransfers during mouse movement / keystrokes?
USB uses polling, but maybe some weird interrupt problem?
Anyone remembers Sound Blaster problems when printing on
a parallel printer (IRQ7)?
My settings are different from yours:

As you described, moving the mouse and pressing keys on the
keyboard result in strange "sound effects". I have a Sun USB
type 6 keyboard + type 6 mouse.
I'm using a separate sound card (PCI) because I diskike the
"AC'97" CPU sound card emulation. :-)
