The first step works and then the second step I get the result above?
Ok, so this part is resolved?
No. I don't know what to do? How do I specify a directory? Sorry for my ignorance
Are you pasting this entire line into the terminal:
git clone -b stable-v1.6 https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin.git
yes I am
Can you please paste the line in, but do not hit enter- take a screenshot and post it?
I have tested this several times on my machine with no trouble. Maybe an image will help suss out the trouble.
Okay I just tried the process again and it worked and installed intel firmware

Good terminal training 
The awkward part will be... When it doesn't work...

I have not rebooted but I tried to test sound and it is still not working. Are there other steps I need to take now that sof-firmware is installed?
For this - it is firmware so a complete reboot is necessary to test.
okay I will try now! Thanks again!
Just rebooted and still no sound.
Given the Tiger Lake troubles, the only thing I can think of is it MAY work with a higher kernel.
This is why I had you you check in Synaptic earlier.
The highest I see is 5.13 for the mainline signed. You may want to go with a mainline unsigned.
I was thinking the same thing earlier. Okay. Thanks again for all of your time and help! I really appreciate it!
Highest mainline:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/t/linux-5.14-rc7.tar.gz
Highest Stable:
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.13.12.tar.xz
Other possibilities: a different Distro...
For Example Devuan is a non-systemd O.S., not relying on Pulseaudio and the systemd module in the same manner. Many users have much less sound troubles on Devuan.
I will try it. Thank You!

That I did not know.
Is it also the case for MXLinux?
It may be - I am not sure. Because MX Linux uses a shim for it and sysvinit
Ah I remember this shim trick.
MX is a little more SystenD-ish than Devuan then.
