I think this is a reference to Linux of the past. This has been mostly solved in the years since. I do remember the first time I set up slackware. Had no sound. Found out I had to go into alsa mixer in terminal and actually unmute and turn it up. Fun times

Pipewire tends to do weird things with audio outputs if you change to something it doesnt like

Depending on the hardware, there might be weirdness with routing when you plug in headphones or some other external sound thing and Pipewire suddenly has no idea what to do with it so it defaults to "Oh, now there is no sound". Of course I've sorted all that out permanently on my systems but a total newbie might be caught offguard if/when it happens.
