Debian 10 sound not working
by Fridgeroo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EHJ5)
My sound is not working on a fresh install of Debian 10.
I have aux speakers connected to the motherboard audio jack and a USB headset with microphone in a USB slot. If either of these emits sound I'll be happy.
Debug information below. I don't understand what all of these things mean but based on similar posts I think this is all relevant.

Thank you.
