I have a Asus GL753VD with audio and Bluetooth issues after installing Linux Mint

[caseyg518-art]

I ended up trying Mint because the framework in my programming language I guess is not compatible with Windows 11, and while this laptop is older it still is pretty powerful and runs really good , especially considering all the abuse it has take from my son. I am really a novice especially in Linux, so I apologize if I am talking out of the wrong end here. My problem seems to be with both audio and bluetooth. My computer seems to think it is playing music according to the volume control, but it does not play anything out of my speakers, so I thought maybe I could get it to play out of my headphones, so I tried to pair them up and after some troubleshooting they did pair up, but whenever I play music they either disconnect or it is super choppy and not enjoyable. I sas some posts that kind of sounded like the same thing, but it force me into creating an account before I could read further. Anyway I would love any new info on troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks!!
