Bug Description
I am on a Lenovo Ideapad 330. I've switched to Ubuntu from Windows. The audio quality in Ubuntu is horrible to say the least, It is very low, and in case I use VLC or enable overamplification, the quality of sound output becomes worse.
I have ensured that the volume on alsamixer is 100.

Firstly, please disable "overamplification" because it is expected to make the sound quality bad. If the sound quality continues to be bad after that then this sounds most likely like a kernel driver issue.
