    Please never make separate mails when writing to different lists.
    Otherwise people will contribute to each thread without knowing the contributions from the other list, thus leading to duplicate work, which
    is really demotivating for people.

    where Intel force it to use UEFI, and due to that, its not possible to get audio out on the HDMI port. I can plug in a usb sound blaster and get audio out there, but even after Debianhas been installedi am not ableto getaudio out via the HDMI.

    So this is not actually a problem with the debian installer or
    accessibility? Probably better ask [email protected] or
    report a bug against the alsa-lib package about it.

    Also, due to this, Debian will not auto run with screen readerafter30
    seconds in the boot menu of the Debian isntaller as well..

    Yes, this was already reported, and in the todo list: it needs some implementation on the grub side. They agree on the feature, it's now
    "just" a matter of somebody taking the time to implement it.

    Hello Debian boot team,

    Im writing to you, because i have found an issue, i have an Intel NUC
    N5105, where Intel force it to use UEFI, and due to that, its not
    possible to get audio out on the HDMI port. I can plug in a usb sound
    blaster and get audio out there, but even after Debianhas been
    installedi am not ableto getaudio out via the HDMI.

    Also, due to this, Debian will not auto run with screen readerafter30
    seconds in the boot menu of the Debian isntaller as well..

    I dont know if this issue is on a issue tracker, but i hope you can do
    some magicial coding to fix this, since i dont expect Intel to disable
    the UEFI function on their Intel NUC devices.

    I have also written on the debian accessibility mail list

    Best kind regards
    Kenneth
