I found an Xubuntu 20.04 Live-DVD here. The mixer displays that the
mp3-file is played, but the loudspeaker and the headphone deliver just

Yes, I shall search the Debian user mailing list.

I do not understand why the ALSA project prepared a server to upload
the users' output of the alsa-info script towards a database
(alsa-project.org/cardinfo-db), but searching it with one's hardware as
criterion is not possible. At least, there were no matches when I used
the Google-Search input field on this page yesterday.
