I installed Mint on an old laptop and had sound issues with external speakers. Spent 30 mins trouble shooting until I realized there was something with the port that if you fully pushed in the aux cable, it went in too much and the contacts don’t fully meet. There was a sweet spot where the cord is plugged in correctly but not pushed in too much.
I want to like pipewire but configuration is a hell scape of configuration files that bare no resemblance to any I’ve dealt with before, and doesn’t recognise my audio interface probably so I have to just fully stop all pw services and use jack for Ardour.
TBF I haven’t had a sound issue after Linux mint switched to pipewire.
I haven’t had a sound issue since I unplugged the speakers
