Bug#1101531: managed to get audio working on my own
It was a matter of
selecting the right combination of device and profile
out of the many possible combinations. It was complicated by the
fact
that changing a profile could change the device selection. Also,
the
Test Speakers function worked OK for a lot of selections - I
needed to
be playing an actual video to find the one combination that
actually
works.
I downloaded the latest Debian 12 live ISO (MATE, because that's
what have installed), booted it and audio was fine without any
screwing
around. The Sound Preferences displayed a significantly different
and
much smaller set of selections and there were multiple selections
that
worked.
Ideally the upgrade process should manage this correctly, but, if
that's
not possible then there needs to be something about this in the
upgrade
instructions. Since the ISO comes up with something different from
the
upgrade, I have to assume, even though the audio is now working,
that
the audio setup is incorrect. But, I don't know how to clean it
up.
