i’m so confused whenever i see this, i’ve been using linux since 2012 and sound has always just worked? I can’t think of a single time I’ve had an audio problem that wasn’t damaged hardware
It depends. The old ALSA system was flaky from what I remember. Pipewire seems more stable, but can have issues with multiple devices but that might be more a bluetooth problem.
I’ve also had constant audio problems in windows, including every update shuffling all my audio devices and making a random one default and switching to the wrong device when connecting a new one.

I installed Mint on my relatively new HP laptop. The sound works about 33% of the time.
Fedora 43, they break sound often by different means
