+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:

 First of all I manually checked all the following:
-  * Using **alsamixer** unmute the **S/PDIF output** of the **default:1  HD-Audio Generic** sound card.
+  * From **alsamixer**: unmute the **S/PDIF output** of the **default:1  HD-Audio Generic** sound card.
+  * 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.
   * Open the XFCE mixer app **pavucontrol**:
-    * Into the **Output Devices** tab: check that the **HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output** is marked as //plugged in//, //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 **Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio Controller HDMI / DisplayPort 1 Output** 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.
