Hello,
Asking debian-kernel about firmwares: is the firmware-intel-sound
package needed for getting sound on some hardware?
It looks as if it's needed on some newer Intel laptops and desktops at least, yes
Do you know if arm64 has some platforms which require such kind of sound firmwares?
Almost all arm64 platforms don't have sound inbuilt: on a Raspberry Pi,
the drivers needed are in the Raspberry Pi firmware package which is
required for the Raspberry Pi to boot. On others, it would be in a
.dtb file, I think.
Raspberry Pis have a concept of hardware as an add on board called a Hat
- the drivers for these could be anything.
All the very best, as ever,

some recent Intel sound cards require a firmware to work. This firmware is packaged under 'firmware-sof-signed'. For reference, you might want
to look at the ITP [1].
I tried it with my laptop. What happens is that the installer gets stuck straight from the beginning, prior it can show any kind of GUI. All I
get is a black scree with the lines:
Please wait while we probe your sound card(s)...
Could you try with the following image:

It's supposed to have the firmware available for loading before speech starts.
