I have the mentioned X1 Carbon. Currently, in unstable, we have the
kernel and Alsa. We need to pull PulseAudio from experimental and add a
patch. I was hoping PulseAudio upstream would release 13.99.2 for Debian
to pick. I can work on getting the patch in Debian in the meantime.

Then, we need the SOF firmwares, currently not in Debian. I see
you have #960788. I just got aware of it through #962134. I am happy to
help you on this package and get it uploaded.

Despite having everything, the sound still lacks bass (notably compared
to Windows). People are trying various tweaks to get better results, but
then headphones don't work anymore. Dunno if this is something you can
pull some levers on. There are some information here:
