It's also not a Linux kernel and not relevant to your sound HW. Just
some video support for ancient video hardware. I don't think Cirrus
Logic has done video HW since the 90s.

Just need to give -t repo option to apt:
apt install -t bullseye-backports linux-image-amd64
Although, I don't think you can install a new kernel in a live system
with apt. Don't know for sure though. That's why I said it'd be easy to
add to an installed system.
I don't know if enabling persistence with the live system would allow
booting with a new kernel, it's been a while since I last played with
anything live. But that too needs some figuring out as I recall.
So, install on a USB thing or resize the Windows partition in your
laptop and install in the newly freed space.
The sound now works on this machine running Debian Stable (Bullseye).
The solution was to install was, as suggested, to do:
install Debian Stable Gnome (Ugh!) 10.0
upgrade to Debian Stable 11.6 (linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64)
apt install -t bullseye-backports linux-image-amd64,
which installed linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64.
Note:
upgrade to Debian Stable 11.6 (linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64)
was not sufficient by itself.
Thanks to all for the help!
