What do you mean by "told it would tried other cards"? What _exactly_
did it write? Otherwise I'm not sure what exactly you refer to, that's
how a way for me to be able to debug anything.

Yes, because as commented there it seems that the Buster audio drivers
take _ages_ to initialize...

Possibly, but I need precise information to be able to guess what is
going wrong. Please really post what is asked on 

https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Debian_installer_accessibility

from *within the installer* because that is what the script uses. The
alsa-info output from an installed system can be useful, but much less
than the precise information of what is _actually_ happening.

And it'll just fail the same way as Buster in case Slint happens to meet
the same driver initialization time.
