~Foreword~
Used to use Debian11 with xfce, decided to drop it in favor of i3wm and install a clean system at the same time. There were no problems with the rest of the settings, you could find the answer to everything in the search engine.

For sound I use alsa-utilis and pulseaudio, the system sound is working, the daemon is running, I get notifications, music is playing, etc.

~question~
No sound in Firefox, which I installed via flatpack using pulseaudio.

I have just started using Debian, please help me. Thank you in advance for your feedback

@Nicolas70

pulseaudio doesn't work with flatpack org.mozilla.firefox (maybe I didn't find a solution)
Install Firefox via apt:
“sudo apt-get install firefox-esr”
Sound works
Thanks everyone

what do you mean the package is not found?
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firefox-esr
formerly firefox in debian was
called Iceweasel for installing programs (search for the desired repository, adding and installing from it, as google chrome does for example).
Any other means is likely to create more problems than it solves, especially if the installation bypasses the package manager.
Perhaps snap becomes a parallel installation method (it was suggested in ubuntu to kick them for the crap created by everyone in the future), and historically python pip also maintains its standard for packages (often overlapping with the base one, by the way), but in other cases it’s better not to interfere with anything.

$ sudo aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

add the firmware-sof-signed package:
$ sudo apt install firmware-sof-signed
add source pack "non-free" -

# --- Debian 11 --- #

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

Examination..

$ inxi -F

Audio:     Device-1: Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Audio driver: sof-audio-pci 
           Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.10.0-9-amd64

reboot.
And it should work
