With me i couldn't get sound out of the tablet, with standard Bullseye, it worked with Buster but then Intel rewrote the Haswell/Broadwell audio driver with the new catpt driver which broke Bullseye. I raised Debian bug #896822 and this enabled the catpt driver and after some work i got the firmware to load and sound from the tablet. AFAIK the dmic still didn't work. I then moved to testing and everything broke again, for other reasons i'm now on EndeavourOS which is arch based and the tablet is without speakers or mic as it tries to use the HDA driver on the tablet. > I don't really know what I'm doing and I know very little about the > hardware.
