   I found this from the 'release notes' section of the 'Welcome' screen..   
   Sound issues   
      
   Linux Mint moved to a new sound server called Pipewire.   
      
   To check which sound server is running, use the following command:   
      
   inxi -A   
      
   If you're unable to get the sound working, you can try to go back to the   
   older sound server called PulseAudio.   
      
   apt purge pipewire pipewire-bin   
   systemctl enable --user pulseaudio   
   sudo reboot
