I don't know if you installed the firmware before giving up on Windows 10, but as a general rule it is always best to install firmware as well as drivers of external devices. I would call it broken if there is no "Advanced" tab after installing drivers and firmware and I would not be blami...

Are you recording stereo 2 channels in Audacity as set in Device Toolbar ? It's possible recording in mono might give ...
