Going to agree with others and say this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as it isn't the very first thing you do and you at least try to click around and figure things out yourself for a bit, it's no big deal.

I swapped my working Bazzite install to Cachy last night and had no audio. Spent about 20 minutes trying to troubleshoot. Asked AI and resolved it in 2 seconds. Turns out my device has an auto-mute "feature" in alsamixer that got toggled on by default. Flipped it off and everything was fine. These kinds of problems are nonsensical and esoteric and aren't really worth spending the brain power on other than remembering what you did in case it happens again or someone else mentions the same problem.
