Re: ALSA config questions
Are you able to select the default card in alsamixer? I start alsamixer in the terminal, hit F6, and then can select the default card.

Re: Latest Debian Stable won't install on Asus Prime B450M-A2
Couple of ideas: 1. change the sata cables; 2. try kernel option: libata.force=3.0Gbps
These were successful for some users online in the case of the error: "failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED"
No guarantees, just reversible suggestions.

Re: [Hardware] ACPI Error message
ACPI error messages are common in linux. The reason is that the linux kernel follows the industry's open specification for the implementation of ACPI standards, but the manufacturers of BIOS/UEFI don't always do that, rather they often issue their wares with "stuff" that works. There's qui...

Re: Debian 12 Pipewire: Volume keeps resetting to 40%?
You could try and have the volume set to 100%, or any percentage, using the amixer command in a start up file like .xsession, or failing that, create a systemd unit to run the amixer command at start up or write a simple /etc/rc.local file. A command like the following can be used: amixer set Master...

Re: Missing libraries for installing Neofetch
The sources.list looks fine and doesn't appear to be implicated in any of the difficulty. As an aside, unless you are downloading source, the source repos could be commented out to fractionally save some bandwidth. sunrat's observation looks to be onto something at this point.

Re: Missing libraries for installing Neofetch
It may be that all you need to do is wait a little time and try again. Be sure to run: apt update, before you try and install the neofetch program. If none of that helps, show here your sources.list file from /etc/apt/sources.list. If there are more files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, it'd be useful ...
