#243994 — Bullseye Installer Fails to find soundcard

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I'm just a user.  I've been trying to install Bullseye since the Release Candidates, no luck.

The accessible text installer fails to find my sound card.  I think my sound card is the 
second one that Debian finds, so I select that.

I do get sound in console once installed, but a blind person would not be able to install
as there is no sound, unless they had a braille device.

I've contacted debian-accessibility and debian-boot, but I just don't know where the problem
is, Samual from debian-accessibility says it's alsa, but I'm not a programmer, or developer, I'm
just a user.

I've spent hundreds of hours trying to install Debian Bullseye.  The last release of Debian Buster
installs perfectly, it detects my sound card, I have sound during installation, and upon reboot.

But suddenly in Debian Bullseye, something has changed. No sound during accessible text installtion.

I don't know who to report this bug to.

Best wishes,

David

If the first possible port is hdmi it could be debian is getting hung up
on that port and thinks it's your default port.  This is not a new
problem.  Maybe a -nohdmi boot parameter could be added to instruct the
installer to bypass all of those hdmi ports if that's the problem you're
having.  If you have an hdmi connection possible with your video monitor
and this again is an hdmi problem maybe plugging a monitor into that hdmi
port might solve the problem.

Looks like a ticket is already opened 'Re: Bug#1002976:
installation-reports: Installer Fault Accessibility No Screen Reader Heard'.

This thread is also on the debian-accessibility and the debian-boot lists.
