Software (systemd) does not work with Raspberry Pi 4b with current Raspberry Pi OS 64bit

[vvstubbs]

I have a fresh install of PI OS 64bit on a PI 4B, I have followed the instructions to the letter, I have uninstalled, and reinstalled, the PI OS is up to date. the service complains as such:

Mar 28 12:37:13 discovery-pi systemd[1]: Starting WM8960 soundcard service... Mar 28 12:37:13 discovery-pi wm8960-soundcard[469]: + exec Mar 28 12:37:13 discovery-pi wm8960-soundcard[475]: ++ basename /usr/bin/wm8960-soundcard Mar 28 12:37:17 discovery-pi systemd[1]: wm8960-soundcard.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=99/n/a Mar 28 12:37:17 discovery-pi systemd[1]: wm8960-soundcard.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Mar 28 12:37:17 discovery-pi systemd[1]: Failed to start WM8960 soundcard service.

I have blacklist snd_bcm2835, and still the problem persists the old remaining sound cards are as follows:

pi@discovery-pi:~ $ aplay -l List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices card 0: vc4hdmi0 [vc4-hdmi-0], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: vc4hdmi1 [vc4-hdmi-1], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: wm8960soundcard [wm8960-soundcard], device 0: bcm2835-i2s-wm8960-hifi wm8960-hifi-0 [bcm2835-i2s-wm8960-hifi wm8960-hifi-0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

And still: pi@discovery-pi:~ $ systemctl status wm8960-soundcard.service ● wm8960-soundcard.service - WM8960 soundcard service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/wm8960-soundcard.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2022-03-28 12:37:17 EDT; 35min ago Process: 469 ExecStart=/usr/bin/wm8960-soundcard (code=exited, status=99) Main PID: 469 (code=exited, status=99) CPU: 721ms

Additionally the journal is of no additional help:

I am really quite annoyed that this driver you supplied for this card, I have wasted too much time for something that is supposed to work with this Pi and this OS, That indicated when buying in that it worked with the PI 4B among others, and it clearly does not work. I sent a ticket to the support and they have not gotten back to me, and you have this code to compile for the machine and it doesn't work. Please explain to me how this is acceptable, Their was not warning on the purchase page that the driver may or may not work, if it had no one would buy it
