On the test machine the movie DVD audio was fine if the standard High Definition Audio driver was used. I then installed the SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio drivers (which I know work fine on this machine under Windows 8.x and earlier) and the movie DVD audio was then distorted. I then tried an Audio CD in the same drive (with Winamp player) with the SoundMAX driver and there was no audio, but again it played fine with the standard High Definition Audio driver.

So it seems there may be some Windows 10 audio driver issues around, not that I have discovered any here during normal use (and I use several DSP applications on PCs for other work), either the drivers themselves or as between the driver and the media playing application used (I think you said that movie DVD sound was ok for you with VLC and Windows 10?).
Bingo!
Integrated SoundMax HD driver

BUT VLC played it fine to Default (which is the Same device, since I have yet to install my other sound options)
