The way I would investigate the hardware situation would be to dl a Deb 
live and boot it up and investigate all of the hardware relationships w/ 
the live.

Personally I would dl the torrent for the KDE live 
debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-kde.iso.torrent and then 
debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-kde.iso and check its hash & auth w/ 
SHA256SUMS.sign & SHA256SUMS and then write it to USB w/ whatever 
utility you usually use for that.  The Deb instructions are command 
based; I generally do it graphically if Win or a text interface if I'm 
doing live w/ persistence w/ mkusb.

Then I boot the live from the USB and investigate any hardware qx.
