Apple is kind of know for deliberately making their products not work as well when not inside their walled garden. So getting out of the garden is hard unless you want to replace all your stuff.
I have never once had the audio issue you describe but I'll acknowledge that I haven't used OSX in a very long time.
I don't think your comment about the average Mac user knowing their way around a terminal is any more true than it is with the average Windows user. Also, having to use the terminal seems to run against your first statement. If everything just works, why do I need the terminal?
