How to Set Default Audio in Ubuntu
How to set default audio in Ubuntu on startup using pactlhow.wtf
Think it may be time to install something else?
Should I try that version or another one (an LTS, maybe)?You can download it from here:
Then you will have to flash to a usb drive and then boot from it.

Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things.ubuntu.com
Just the last version where you had working internal speakers.

If it's a laptop, check for hard block [flight mode is not activated]
Guys, I'm sorry that it has been some time since I last posted, I'm now trying to install a new version of ubuntu, but it tells me that the disk is write protected, I tried some remedies on the Internet but it doesn't work, what should I do?

To turn off disk device`s write protect, we use the low level system utility hdparm like this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install hdparm
sudo hdparm -r0 /dev/sdbwhere we assume that /dev/sdb is the Physical disk device we're working on. If the device has partitions that are mounted as read-only, you should re-mount 'em as read-write in order to write data to them.

Ubuntu 23.04. The latest version of the Ubuntu operating system for desktop PCs and laptops, Ubuntu 23.04 comes with nine months of security and maintenance updates, until January 2024.
Seriously.......why would you waste this much time on it......only for it to run out of security and maintenance updates in 6 months ??....
You have been trying since June 30...almost 3 weeks
Install a decent distro with LTS

It's what I'm trying to do, but it tells me that the USB Stick I am trying to boot from is write protected and won't let me go foward.
I agree with you, but the problem is that the sound doesn't even work on Windows 11 I have in dual boot. Would you say that using an LTS would fix the problem altogether? If I don't want to downgrade, can I just wait till the next LTS?

Have you tried re-formatting the USB pen-drive to X-Fats then installing the latest LTS version of Ubuntu [or you could try a different distribution, MX, Parrot Home, Debian with additional driver pack, Mint LMDE, etc]

That is entirely up to you. Nobody can make that decision for you. The next LTS may be a number of years away.

Yep generally every two years for Debian/Ubuntu
Is one of the keys on your device an Fn key that mutes the sound?
Also, as for the next LTS, that'll be 24.04 (for Ubuntu).
Yes, there is a key that does that, but sound is activated (technically). Right now I have speakers connected to the laptop and all the sound functions work as they should, the problem comes with the built-in speakers. I have a dual boot with Windows and neither on there does the sound work. I think I might have to wait till the next release, although idk, I am pretty inexperienced.
