For the most part, sound is not still a problem. I commonly use 3 machines where I want sound (work,home,laptop) running a variety of different distros (arch,debian,ubuntu) and sounds works for me in all of them, mostly alsa although ubuntu is pulseaudio. In the 99% case it just works, the only config I have to do is for my external DAC and that requires a few line config file (telling alsa to default to using my DAC rather than the first card it finds)
