Dear Debian community,
I'm running Bookworm with XFCE; Linux version 6.1.0-15-amd64
(debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14)
12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) and since
yesterday, I cannot seem to use the analog audio card any more.
The card isn't showing up in `pavucontrol`
or in `aplay` and `arecord`:
```
cgelinek@gar:/tmp$ aplay -l

```
Note that the USB Audio device is a webcam and its microphone is working. I don't have speakers on my monitors, so I can't test the HDMI playback devices. The analog devices (front audio, line-in/out) are now completely missing.
Other debug info:

I.e. that particular error appeared any time between Dec 18
14:42:21 and Dec 19 13:37:16, but I cannot be 100% sure this is
actually the cause of the missing analog audio.
I also know that I received a new analog headset on Dec 19 between 12:21 and 12:45 and tested it successfully. But at some point that afternoon, then I noticed that my analog audio wasn't working any more and I started to investigate, the earliest entry in the journal hinting at this is:
```
Dec 19 15:22:18 gar sudo[9362]: cgelinek : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/tmp
; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/systemctl status
pipewire-session-manager
```
Unfortunately, I also did quite a few other things in-between,
including a BIOS upgrade after 12:57 (I needed `dosfstools` to
format the USB drive to store the BIOS), installed `fwupdate` at 13:47:56 and `intel-microcode` at 14:25:40,
so any of these actions could've caused this issue.
Some of these (AFAIR auto-configured) PulseAudio config files are
still pointing to the "analog-stereo" output:

At this point I was wondering about the kernel modules.
As I found on some forums, I also tried adding `snd_hda_intel dmic_detect=0` or `snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=0` to */etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf*, but this didn't seem to have any effect.

suggest the `snd_hda_codec_realtek`
module was loading when the sound was working but now isn't, even
through the firmware is installed:
```
cgelinek@gar:/tmp$ apt list --installed |grep firmware
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with
caution in scripts.
firmware-linux-free/stable,stable,now 20200122-1 all
[installed,automatic]
firmware-misc-nonfree/stable,stable,now 20230210-5 all
[installed]
firmware-realtek/stable,stable,now 20230210-5 all [installed]
firmware-sof-signed/stable,stable,now 2.2.4-1 all [installed]
```
As [mentioned on the Debian forums][2], I may need the */etc/modprobe.d/amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf* file as I already have */etc/modprobe.d/intel-microcode-blacklist.conf*, which is in [amd64-microcode][4] and which I had not installed:
```
cgelinek@gar:/tmp$ apt list --installed |grep microcode
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with
caution in scripts.
intel-microcode/stable,now 3.20231114.1~deb12u1 amd64
[installed]
```
But since `amd64-microcode`
explicitly points to `intel-microcode`
for Intel processors (which I use), I was hesitant to install it.
[This Arch Linux thread][3] seems to be about a very similar
problem, unfortunately it doesn't include a solution - I already
have the realtek and sof firmware installed.
I also tried booting into a *debian-live-12.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso*
system but that has the same problem (no codecs found!), besides
also not detecting any audio hardware except for the USB webcam.
Any other ideas what I missed or what else to try at this point would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Christian
