I’ve spent way too many hours trying to figure this out through forum posts.
As far as I could gather there was a configuration file that could be edited but now that configuration file is nowhere to be seen so I need to create that file but I’m not sure what to pun in that file.
The other problem is that all forum posts that talk about editing a configuration file is for something called Pulse and some forum posts mention that Mint doesn’t use that anymore, so back to 0.
ok it looks like you won’t read the manual so i am gonna spell it out for you:
Sound issues
Linux Mint moved to a new sound server called Pipewire.
To check which sound server is running, use the following command:
inxi -A
If you’re unable to get the sound working, you can try to go back to the older sound server called PulseAudio.
apt purge pipewire pipewire-bin systemctl enable --user pulseaudio sudo reboot
