Speakers/sound not working on Ubuntu 22.04

The speakers on Windows work fine, but not on Ubuntu (22.04). Also, the wired headphones work, but fail to connect wireless headphones via Bluetooth. From Fail to connect to bluetooth headset on ubuntu 16.04 I am thinking the problem might be with pulseaudio, but the proposed solution did not work for me.

I tried purging pulseaudio and reinstalling it, tried toggling alsamixer options, editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, using sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:rw /dev/snd/* as suggested in other posts. Nothing seems to work for me.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but every time I switch from Windows to Ubuntu I have to change SATA configuration to AHCI.

Here's some further information:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
