Tiling window manager that works relatively out of the box

I was trying i3. I really enjoy controlling my PC, without moving hands from the keyboard, but there are a lot of basic functions that i3 doesn't support out of the box like sound or brightness control. It seems that there are also problems when you want to use multiple displays, etc. (I'm not sure about the displays, I've came across posts, talking about it while I was searching how to resolve my problems with sound control, but often I need to display plantations with my laptop so I'll need it). While I think it's good for self-esteem to pizza yourself off writing scripts in order to change the brightness, I don't find it reasonable or productive. I've already lost a lot of time, and almost failed my PhD because of doing stuff like this instead of doing my homework. Is there a tiling window manager that works out of the box? Or are there some packages for i3 or other tiling managers that will handle this basic stuff?
