Audio not working on LMDE after running audio script and installing custom kernel

Output of ls /boot:

config-6.1.0-12-amd64       initrd.img-6.6.58-chrultrabook
config-6.1.0-28-amd64       System.map-6.1.0-12-amd64

Running the audio debug script outputs this (Failed to connect to bus: No medium found does not appear anymore, unlike earlier):

lspci not found. Please install pciutils.
Log collection done.
Please upload "debug-logs.tar.gz" for analysis.

Here is the link for the debug logs

I installed pavucontrol to see the config profiles. Switching the speaker profile from off to “Pro Audio” gives 5 output devices all named Comet Lake PCH-LP cAVS Pro /2/3/4/5
Audio only works on Pro 5-only after setting it as the fallback device

This same issue happened this July and the fix I used then was to install alsa-ucm-conf, which is already preinstalled on LMDE.

One other thing is when run the firmware utility script, it outputs this:

You may need to add 'iomem=relaxed' to your kernel parameters,
or trying running from a Live USB with a more permissive kernel (eg, Ubuntu 23.04+).

If you have UEFI SecureBoot enabled, you need to disable it to run the script/update your firmware.

I’m not quite sure how to disable Secure Boot.
