Ok, it works with kernel 6.8, which has audio packages of version 1.* (while they are 0.* in my case) and gnome version 1.44 (mine is 1.43). I tried to install the new audio packages from the backports, but gnome 1.44 isn't on backports and 1.43 depends on the old ones (i.e. i remain without graphical interface if i try to update those packages).
What do you suggest me to do? Should i switch to kernel 6.8? Is it a good idea, seeing that only 6.1 and 6.6 are LTS while others have a short life? And if i switch to a non-LTS kernel, should i periodically update to the newest one, or is it safe to keep it?
It may well be that it'll work with just the updated kernel, which can be installed from Backports. Here are a couple of discussions of the issue. In both it is pointed out that the delay in security updates is probably not an issue if the computer is not public facing/exposed to the internet.
