Audio:

Lenovo
    driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus-ID: 00:1b.0 chip-ID: 8086:1e20
    class-ID: 0403
  API: ALSA v: k6.12.74+deb13+1-rt-amd64 status: kernel-api
  Server-1: JACK v: 1.9.22 status: off with: a2jmidid status: off
  Server-2: PipeWire v: 1.4.2 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse
    status: active 2: wireplumber status: active 3: pipewire-alsa type:
plugin
    4: pw-jack type: plugin

The tools of Server-2 seems to be gone, besides that it looks quite
