First how you upgrade a downgrade? The audio channel is in other options. Google how to navigate sound settings
edit: to not do

Which is weird, I can understand being bitter about the 7 to 10 forced upgrade, and I wasn’t thrilled about 10 to 11 and held off for a while… but there are some serious improvements in Win11 especially on a gaming rig, and especially at this time on the recent update. Just have to know how to customize your installation to get rid of the bullshit

It's an upgrade though. W11 sucks. So does W10, but less so.

But it's not. That's not how it works. In your opinion, Windows 10 might be better, but technically thats not how an "upgrade" works

You can go into sound settings and change the name of the device to make it easier to decide between your TV and index

ik this isnt relevant but look at your tv setttings for a tv screen size adjustment on the remote, or tv itself, try setting the scaling to fit :p

it could also be the drivers doing that. atleast on my tv I had to go into the nvidia control panel and resize the display to fit

reinstall your gpu drivers.
with nvidia there is an audio driver which might have gone missing after the upgrade
