Bug description
After updating kernel to 6.8.0-48 (and reboot), the sound did not work any more. It simply showed "Dummy Output" in the sound settings.
After downgrading back to 6.8.0-47, the issue was gone.
Steps to reproduce
Upgrade system to kernel 6.8.0.-48 and reboot.
Expected behavior
Sound setting will show "Dummy output".
Additional information
The system still states that I use kernel 6.8.0-48-generic, which is confusing me.

Research direction
Start by comparing the reported behavior on Linux Mint 21.3 with kernels 6.8.0-47 and 6.8.0-48, checking whether the issue belongs to Cinnamon or the kernel/audio stack. Done means identifying a reproducible Cinnamon-side cause and a relevant code or test location, or documenting that the regression is outside this repository.
