That's because laptop (and some desktop motherboard) manufacturers love to cut costs wherever they can so they end up using some weird non standard sound card from Billy Bob's discount computer parts because they know they can require the use of drivers to band aid over the shitty hardware with a software fix.

Then when using Linux it tends to either not work or have shit sound until some kind soul adds in a config file for the devices sound card.
