I have read complains hinting about that it is the Pulseaudio sound server which makes audio output feel worse: it is very ubiquitous in applications and offered in most Linux distributions. Using a professional audio server named as JACK as an alternative, which is the standard one used in audio production, may be a solution for.

First of all, reduce the output volume of the applications (sources), not your headphones/speaker (sink), because low sink volume causes distortion and clipping.

Then change the resampling algo. Personally I use speex-float-1 (or whatever it's called), but 5 may give slightly better quality.

Also set the correct sample rate for your DAW setup. Don't know what you have it set to, but I recommend 48000Hz, and set the mixing sample format to float32le.

This may end up all pointless though if you have those awful Dolby drivers on Windows, because those do a ton of audio processing.

Been the opposite for me, for some reason. There was always something on my computer running windows that made the sound feel tinny.
But I do know for sure no special drivers or setting was in place, so no idea either.
My old laptop had much better sound quality, too.
