Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

OK, I tried to boot the current Debian Linux kernel in forky (linux-image-6.16.12+deb14+1-amd64/6.16.12-2) with intel_iommu=off.

In the kern.log snippet corresponding to the boot time span I only see
swiotlb mentioned once:

  $ cat /proc/cmdline 
  BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.16.12+deb14+1-amd64 root=UUID=a5d36947-d90d-4818-9184-7cda88ade7fd ro intel_iommu=off quiet
  $ grep -i swiotlb boot_kern.log 
  kernel: PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)

Does this mean that there are issues with swiotlb?

I am attaching the full kern.log snippet, in case you can see something
I am missing...

By the way, an important question: booting
linux-image-6.16.12+deb14+1-amd64/6.16.12-2 with intel_iommu=off makes
audio work, apparently.
Is adding this kernel boot parameter a possible (temporary) workaround?

I'll try and check whether there is a BIOS update available... although
flashing this update (if any is indeed available) won't necessarily be
an easy and trouble-free process...   :-(
