Hi,
There are some noticeable differences:
- On live USB you have 5.15.0-41-generic kernel, while you have 5.15.0-48-low latency kernel (used for "real time" needs) in the installed version.
- On live USB you have 3 sound servers (Alsa, PulseAudio, Pipewire) while you have 4 sound servers (the previous 3 +
Jack) in the installed version.
Do you really need low latency kernel? it might induce some instabilities. It is generally recommended to record audio,
for professional use, or to make real time calculations; but I do record audio (and video) as an "amateur" with generic kernel and excellent results.
A low-latency kernel is a specialized kernel optimized for real-time computing operations. A specific use for home computing is computer-assisted music, since the low-latency core allows lower CPU consumption for the same latency when processing audio. This ultimately allows you to optimize your audio settings in order to reduce this latency time.
This optimization is generally done to the detriment of certain rules ensuring the security or the general reliability of the system.

In your case you seem to get audio problem, that's the opposite of what you are looking for.
And why four sound servers? Generally one is enough (Alsa), maybe two (I also use Pulse Audio, since I find it has a better mixer).
Anyway, if you want to get rid of your audio problems on your installed Mint, I would recommend you use the same configuration (kernel and audio servers) as in live USB.
