Hello, I can only repeat myself.
I am not getting theses issues in my tests, so we need information from your machine to determine what is going wrongly in your case. For the MATE problem, please bring it up to MATE maintainers who will know what to inspect, we in debian-accessibility don't have the knowledge of what log file is best to look at etc. For the double card problem, we need the output of these commands: amixer -c 0 scontrols amixer -c 1 scontrols cat /proc/asound/cards echo /sys/class/sound/card*/id cat /sys/class/sound/card*/id lsmod dmesg | grep firmware cat /var/run/espeakup.card amixer -c 0 scontents amixer -c 1 scontents There is no way the bug can be ever fixed if we don't have such kind of information from your system. Concerning shift pg-up/down, it's Linux that dropped the support for software scrolling in the Linux console in version 5.9, because the code is very complex and nobody was taking the time to maintain it. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.9-Drops-Soft-Scrollback Samuel
