Questions about compiz, sound control and mkv movies

Question

I'm totally fresh with Ubuntu. I've got the newest (16.04) release, my laptop is Lenovo Y50-70.

My issues:

How do I get rid of compiz?
Sounds, like music or sounds from movies are... like really deep, the quality is awful.
MKV movies are really, really silent.

I need a laptop just for internet, movies and music, but Ubuntu doesn't works for me in 2/3.

Any help?

for sound :
1- goto setting -> sound -> allow louder than 100%
2- pulse audio may be recommended it's an equalizer like Dolby for installation

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

for mkv files install vlc

sudo apt-get install vlc

it works for me correctly

3-for compiz i don't recommend to remove it you should write what's your problem with it , if all you want to remove it look at this link.

Ok, sounds good, mkv movies are good, thanks a lot! For compiz - i would like to change the unity graphical environment for the gnome - it just suits me better. Any ideas? – Raziel_EL May 18 '16 at 22:20
