Thanks, I'll reinstall 5.9.0-5 kernel tomorrow and report back whether it helped.

Just a quick update:

All of my Laptops and PCs (Yes, I have a few ;) ) are workhorses, not often used for entertainment, so I just discovered that everything is perfect with the 5.9.0-5 kernel... except for sound... there isn't any ;) No audio device recognised - So I'll suffer the loss of touchpad ...
