These are the items that don't make or break the system for most folks but are important to note their status.

The headphone port and even at the lower volume it has a lot of cracking in the output and it gets worse as you increase the volume. I tested two different headphones with the same result. Now using a USB headset (though the USB-C port) seems to work without issue so that is a workaround though you'll need to use an adapter to do this. I have not tested a headset with a microphone yet since I mainly use a USB-A headset so I don't use the port much.

### Widevine/DRM

Now streaming sites that use Widevine DRM like Max and Disney+ do not work at all when you try to load a video. I tested Firefox (snap default install) and Vivaldi (they have an ARM64 Debian release). Now I was able to get Max and Disney+ to work (but not Netflix currently) with Brave by using the [Widevine Installer](https://github.com/AsahiLinux/widevine-installer) from the Asahi project and these [steps](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/23881756488717-How-do-I-enable-Widevine-DRM-on-Linux) from Brave. Now this can break at any time with how Widevine is but it does work currently at this time.
