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 haven’t had a sound issue since I unplugged the speakers
Say, that’s some smart thinking.

This is the sort of thing I’d spend 3 days troubleshooting
