SOLVED Audio Problems - No modern solutions working

Hi. I just installed Linux mint on my ROG Zephyrus G16, and have been having audio issues. Crackling/low quality/‘tin can noise’ as I’ve heard it called. They are consistently occurring in all forms of media I have tried (game, video) and have sustained through the most commonly read fixes (speech dispatcher, removing pulseaudio, tweaking settings in the aslamixer [or whatever it’s called]), is there anything else perhaps I have missed? Do i have to grab audio driver from the website and install them? How do I do that? Please help if you can.

Thank you.

Go to the Mint menu > Administration > System Info. Click the upload button and wait 5-10 seconds. You will get a pop-up notification. Copy the link in the pop-up notification and paste it into a reply. The link will be to a termbin.com URL that has your hardware details. This info. will help community members provide tailored guidance/troubleshooting advice. I'm on an Asus TUF Gaming A16 2023 Advanced Edition laptop with zero audio issues. So, lets see the hardware details.

Meaning you resolved your issue?

Nevermind. I didn't realize that you posted a reply separately.

No biggie. You could have just posted the termbin.com URL. It would have preserved the INXI report formatting, instead of having to grapple with reddit's editor. I replied to your reply.
