So it looks like this is the actual sound hardware that's in use, not
the Tiger Lake stuff. A quick search found
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Cirrus-Dolphin-Linux-Audio which says
shows support was added in Linux kernel 5.15.

Not available for Debian 11 except as a backport, which is easily added
to an existing installation, even on USB media. There doesn't seem to be
live images for the upcoming Debian 12 currently.






xserver-xorg-video-cirrus_1.5.3-1+b3_amd64.deb for Debian Stable (Bullseye) does seem to be at
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye main 
but that is not a backport. 

When I look at https://packages.debian.org and search "bullseye-updates" and "bullseye-backports" 
I get this: 

"You have searched for packages that names contain cirrus in suite(s) bullseye-backports, all sections, and all architectures.

Sorry, your search gave no results".


Searching "bookworm" (testing) does show:

xserver-xorg-video-cirrus_1.5.3-1+b5_amd64.deb
but I don't know if I can use that with my Debian 11.6 "live" usb stick.

I hate to sound stupid, but could someone please tell me how to add that to the
Debian 11.6 "live" usb stick? 

I know how to enable the bullseye backports repository in
/etc/apt/sources.list, but then I dont know how to "get to" and use backports; I've never had to do that before.
