So in my dual boot setup Linux messes up the dedicated audio card so bad it not only sounds like ass on Linux but it somehow garbles Windows audio until I power cycle the entire thing. It is entirely possible it does permanent damage to the hardware. Some of the electrical clicks you hear from it are genuinely concerning.
Had to plug in Linux audio via the motherboard audio and use different sources for each OS to work around it.
Does change how the meme reads to me.
Also, maaaan does Linux need to completely redo its audio systems from the ground up. It’s so bad that saying that isn’t even that controversial, which is insane in these circles.

You might try something new that runs pipewire by default, if you haven’t already. But I might also know of some specific quirks with specific cards.
