I have an old Lenovo X61s, ultraportable with Intel audio chip set.
With Win 7 everything was fine, no problems.
With Win 10 the drivers from the manufacturer of the chips can not be used, the microphone does complete feedback howling and can not be controlled.
I downloaded the generic Microsoft ” High Definiton Audio Device” drivers, and now the sound is OK.
It is definitively not better than before!
But it works.
The internal microphone (or any external microphone connected) is very low set, so it is unusable.
An external USB sound card works fine with sound and microphone.
Luckily all my old gadgets still work in Win 10.
But I think too many "want" too much from the Win 10, which is not there.
Making the volume slightly louder of one speaker over another often times creates an illusion of better sound. Its an old trick that unscrupulous audio shops using speaker switch boxes could set the level of one speaker higher than the other. The boxes were intended to make it possible to get all levels equal to give a fair evaluation... Not sure that's what Microsoft decided upon with Windows 10. Might have been to give an immediate impression of better sound. By making the level slightly higher could easily give that impression.
You guys are idiots.
As I mentioned months ago, it seems to my ears that there is a sound improvement in iTunes with Windows 10 over Windows 8 running iTunes
A bit OT, but I could not find the answer with brief googling. Can iTunes now be set up to be bit-perfect in Windows 10?

i experienced the opposite. windows 10 was worse than windows 7 for audio. this is unfortunate, since windows 10 will, i imagine, eventually become the standard operating system for PCs. when i switched over to windows 10, i heard click and pops, as well as occasional static and drop outs. my connection was USB. i did not have this issue with windows 7. i spent a lot of time searching and reading, all resulting in numerous tweaks and adjustments to my computer as well as audio components. nothing helped. i switched back to windows 7.
