In order to maximise sound quality you have to make sure:
That your SBLive is able to provide enough power to satisfy your headphones. We are not talking maximum power, actually normal power, where distortions will be minimum. I, personally don't think your SBLive has enough "efficient" power to deliver good quality to your headphones, therefore you may need something to boost the signal, a mixer for example.
Second point to check what is your headphones impeadence and what is the inpeadnce of the sound card's output. They shoud match (in the best case) or be very close. The higher the difference, the more power you loose. (Impeadence = resistance... in other words.. in ohms)
And i dont think it has anything to do with your operating system. Give it a try!
