          SD card corruption ?

          make sure you have dtparam=audio=on in /boot/config.txt

          for the certificate issue you can try sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates

          If you have some filesystem corruption, you may well have other issues though.

            @BuZz the config.txt ended up only having the gpu_mem stuff in it. i put my backup on and thats fine. the rpie update is still an issue so i will try what you just posted.

              @BuZz the certificate update did not fix the issue.

                try sudo update-ca-certificates

                I suspect you would be best starting from a fresh image if you have had corruption though.
