Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.
I have, it works better on Fedora than PopOS or ubuntu. There's actually a fix for the 17 inch version of my laptop in the main kernel, but it explicitly mentions the full model number so doesn't apply to my 13 inch version. I spent a long time trying and failing to figure out how to build a kernal with a patch for my model.
