I don't have Windows 11 yet, but borrowing from a known problem of Windows 10, could you be receiving frequent Windows updates? Windows 10 has an annoying habit of changing default audio drivers and adding back the drivers I had indicated I wanted disabled. Some aggressive 'tune-up' type programs like Iolo System Mechanic do things like that, too. In other words, it's normal to have to review things like audio drivers and power settings frequently.
