      I’ve had a bunch of audio issues crop up for me as well, after upgrading to Pop 24.04 and the new cosmic DE. I used to have keyboard shortcuts that would reliabily switch from headphones to speakers, but those are hit or miss now. And when they miss, I have to go all the way into into alsamixer and unmute things until it works again. Which begs the question, why can’t the normal audio settings UI do everything alsamixer can? Alsamixer isn’t complicated, by any stretch. Literally just lets you adjust the volume of all the things on a particular audio card, and mute/unmute.
