When someone migrates from Windows to Linux, the first worries comes into mind that: "Will I get the same graphics and sound quality as I get in Windows?" because generally motherboard's vendors don't provide any drivers for Linux.
I've been using Ubuntu since 2013. When I play audio loudly, the bass distorts and I don't have any real issues with my sound system. Graphics performance is also not so good as Windows. I am including my system's configurations with graphics and sound card details.
Can any experienced users suggest how to solve these issues? How can I improve the audio quality and get faster graphics? I have checked additional drivers found nothing.
Here are the hardware details:
