Ubuntu is well known for blowing their operating systems up. It's not unusual to disable a few things on a fresh Ubuntu.

One thing I vaguely remember is bluetooth being started with more options that you generally need. Can't remember what options I removed but using a more bare Bluetooth driver often fixes things.

You can control your sound output via alsa, usually a alsa control is shipped with Ubuntu.

Annoying you with snap is one of those typical Ubuntu things why people stopped recommending it.

So yeah, try using not Ubuntu
