 ====== Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 5825U Acemagician AM06PRO ======
-===== Linux kernel WiFi support =====
+I purchased this Mini PC to do video editing using the **Olive Video Editor** program. My previous Mini PC based on the Intel N95 **was not able to playback 2.7K/60 fps videos**, it only does 1080/30 fps. The **AMD Ryzen 7 5825U** CPU is instead  capable of previewing the clips applying cropping on the fly on Olive, which is what I actually need.
-GNU/Linux **kernel 6.1.0** shipped with **Debian 12 Bookworm** does not support the WiFi adapter FIXME.

+GNU/Linux **kernel 6.1.0** shipped with **Debian 12 Bookworm** does not support the **RTL8852BE** WiFi adapter. You can download kernel 6.12.22 from bookworm backports and install it manually using **%%dpkg -i%%**. Download also the backported firmwares:

+===== Problem with audio over HDMI using Pulseaudio and ALSA =====
 I had a problem getting audio to work on the **HDMI port**: at bootstrap the PC was totally mute; **no audio** was routed to the HDMI display.

 First of all I manually checked all the following:
-  * Unmute the **S/PDIF output** using **alsamixer**.
+  * From **alsamixer**: unmute the **S/PDIF output** of the **default:1  HD-Audio Generic** sound card.
-  * Opened the XFCE mixer app **pavucontrol**:
+  * From the **PulseAdio Plugin** on the XFCE panel: check that the master volume control si associated to the **Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output**, enable the output and set a sensible volume level.
-    * Into the **Output Devices** tab check that the HDMI #1 is unmuted and //Set as fallback//.
+  * Open the XFCE mixer app **pavucontrol**:
-    * FIXME: Check the the pavucontrol uses the correct master volume...
+    * Into the **Output Devices** tab: check that the **HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output** is marked as //plugged in//, verify it is //unmuted// and click the //Set as fallback// button.
-    * Start an audio player (e.g. the **audacious** program to play some mp3 files); into the **Playback** tab of pavucontrol check that the app is using the **HDMI #1** port to route the sound.

 Now you should ear the sound coming from the HDMI display (obviously your device must have the speakers!).
+FIXME There is a problem with the **alsa-restore.service** which should be responsible for saving the ALSA controls status on shutdown and restore them on bootstrap (executing the commands **alsactl store** and **alsactl restore** respectively). Till now I was not able to make the restore working automatically: it seems that the S/PDIF output is muted just before the save, so at bootstrap the alsactl will always restore a muted audio system.
