Works for me

Audio works before and after.

I remove almost 100 packages on a default debian install directly after the 
install.
I have a script for that.
It makes my installs sane.

debian bug?

cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/";

This is from my last surviving debian installation.
