See the changelogs: Alpha 1 didn't have firmware (the vote wasn't even
passed at the time), only Alpha 2 has them.
To check about this and fix it, we'd need information from the working
case: installation logs etc. from the bullseye firmware image.
Also it would be useful to have the same information from the bullseye
*non* firmware image, to see what is different between the two, which is
making the card actually work.

They are showing that the drivers properly detected an hda intel card.
They are not talking about missing firmware. That's why we'd need to
compare with the bullseye case, to know what's happening differently.

Perhaps you can think of my frustration at not have the hardware that
poses problem, and thus have to try to *divine* what could be going
wrong in your case.

And knowing what happens is very difficult without actually having the
hardware at hand. That's why we need input to actually fix things.
