   24.04 wasn't too bad but after running some updates I had a problem with   
   the sound. The diagnostics showed the drivers intact but no sinks for the   
   devices. The sound dialog only showed the Dummy Output.   
      
   After chasing rabbits around their tunnels for a couple of days, including   
   upgrading to 24.10, I switched to Bluetooth speakers.   
      
   fwiw, the Fedora box, which also uses pipewire, did not have a similar   
   problem.   
      
   For my money Ubuntu has lost its 'easy install for newbies' cred.
