Re: Problems with sound card

[Chevelle <cstrobel@purelymail.com>]

My sound card works fine before logging in.  You probably need to check 
the logs and find out why it doesn't work.  Maybe set the system up to 
use backports and get the non-free repository.  Then use some commands 
like this to get firmware updates.


sudo apt -y install fwupdate
fwupdmgr get-updates:

Also purging the pulse audio package is a good idea if you don't need it 
because Debian is moving to pipewire.  See Debian accessibility FAQ.
