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?

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.
