Arc Card not loading after reboot

[Remotepall]

I took a couple of days to rest and come back to this. Sorry for being so short before.

I started from the beginning today and went through guides again. It is possible that the gpu not 'loading' was the kernel version not being up to date/below kernel required. That has now been updated to 6.13.6 which is 'loading' the GPU after each reboot. I keep using quotation marks because everything I'm looking at doesn't seem like it is loading properly?

Code:

uname -r

6.13.6-061306-generic

Code:

ls /dev/dri

by-path  card1  renderD128

Code:

dpkg -l | grep intel-media-va-driver

Important note here: the title of the driver "intel-media-va-driver" is red in output. 

Code:

dpkg-query -l intel-media-va-driver

No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found

Further googles regarding this hasn't been any help and ChatGPT has been defaulting to advise regarding ARC-A and i915. 

Small aside - found an issue with audio desync with AC3 Dolby Digital. But i had back burnered this until main issue sorted.
