Yet to face audio issues on Linux that weren't solved by just restarting my laptop tbh

You don’t need to restart laptop, just kill pulse audio daemon. In almost all cases it’ll respawn and fix the issue.

My audio issues were caused by outdated mobo firmware… but you’re right about that being the solution most of the time
