XP Pro Sound Quality

I'm using a SoundBlaster Live for sound and have noticed that the sound quality doesn't seem to be as good as on 98se or 2000. Mp3s don't sound as clear or clean as on 98se. It really seems as if xp pro is dithering the sound somehow. I have check all the usual driver settings etc. and things seem to be fine. Any ideas?
 
I also noticed some wierdness when I first upgraded. I'm assuming you went and downloaded the latest drivers for XP?
 
Yeah I have service pack 1 and latest drivers. The sound issue was one of the first things I noticed after installing 2000 and later xp. Since I was booting all 3 at one time I could switch back and forth comparing the sound quality. Later drivers for 2000 made a significant improvement but xp seems to have stayed the same. I may go back to the old drivers that came on the cd and see if that changes anything. It's sucky because i know how things are supposed to sound like.
