    The exact model of my device is Legion 7-16ITHg6. I upgraded to Windows 11 a few days ago and have been dealing with certain issues ever since. First, I had a muffled sound problem. Sounds were muffled, although there was no problem with the speaker. There was no problem with the headphones, only muffled sound was coming from the computer's own speaker. I realized that this problem is caused by the drivers for Cirrus Logic Awesome Speaker Amps. Disabling it from device manager fixed it, but the sound was still not as clear as in Windows 10. So again there was a problem. Drivers are problematic.

    I solved this sound problem at forums.lenovo.com/t5/Gaming-Laptops/GPU-Updates-Intel-AMD-Nvidia-Driver-updates-Fixes-Follow-this-thread-by-alex5723/m-p/5071433 Thanks to the forum members in the link, I solved it. As you can see, everyone has experienced this problem. I suspect it's something specific to Legion 7.

    I applied the things written in the link above. In one, he suggested that I install the Realtek driver specific to Legion 5, and in the other he said that I had to manually update Cirrus Logic. I did these two things and restarted the computer and my sound problem was solved. But now I have another problem. My computer's performance in games is not what it used to be. In certain games my FPS is much lower than in Windows 10. I can give examples of Elden Ring and Dying Light 2. There are other games, of course, but I haven't tried them yet. Also, some people say that I have these problems because I did an upgrade, not a clean install. I can't clean install, nor can I go back to Windows 10. It's a very slow OS. I'm just looking for a solution.
    I guess there is a problem-incompatibility between Windows 11 and Legion 7 drivers. Will you solve this? What other problems could there be? Can you help please?

    Yeah, sadly Windows 11 even tho it's good, it's still not fully optimized, hence you will come across some problems when updating, I suggest if the problems are still there go back to Windows 10.
