I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 and when listening music it has bad sound quality, much worse than in Windows. Is it possible to get the same sound quality?

$ lshw -C multimedia

You meant daemon.conf in the /etc/pulse folder, right? I don't know what you changed in there, but see my last paragraph.

The short answer to your question is to install PulseEffects, which I use, where you adjust the graphics equalizer settings. You can save many different settings to suit different speakers or headphones, etc and name-saving them. This gives me an even better sound than Windows. Read my method of installation there, which is the easiest.

But even without PulseEffects, I can still get decent sound quality, which suggests to me that possibly either your sound configuration or drivers are not the correct ones. I would read a suggested solution here by Calthax, and try that method first and see if it makes any difference.
