I think you've been misinformed there, unless you are aborting the install early because you cannot drive it without the sound working. Assuming the install completes, the complete logs, including what happened early in the install, are copied from the installer's /var/log (which is in RAM) to the target system's /var/log/installer, where they can be found once one boots the resulting installed system. Of course if you are not able to complete the install, because the lack of working sound makes that impossible for you, then it will not get as far as writing the logs to the target system's disk for you. > No errors are ever seen or heard - except that there is no sound after the > installer probes for sound card (press enter if this is your sound card, > etc.). > > I'm going to install Bullseye once again because right now I have Buster - > but the sound is working in Buster and the screen readers orca and console > are both working. and sound from videos in the browser are all working. > Now if I can only get this in Bullseye. If you have working buster, you could also try upgrading that to bullseye to see if that ends up with a working setup. That ought to help narrow down whether the problem is really in the installer, or is related to other changes between the releases. BTW I find `etckeeper` very useful for seeing what changes on a system (it creates a git repository under /etc for you, and records changes that happen), so you could install that before upgrading. It also records the versions of packages that get changed in the git log as well as the changes to files under /etc when you upgrade packages.
