That is the way Windows has always labeled sound card inputs and outputs. What Windows calls the "microphone" is a generic name for analog audio inputs to the sound card. In the case of a transceiver, that is the signal from the receiver (the same signal you hear in the radio's speaker). What Windows calls the "speaker" is a generic name for analog audio outputs from the sound card. In the case of a transceiver, that is the audio modulation input to the transmitter (takes the place of the transceiver's microphone input). This did not change between Windows 10 and 11.

You can rename these inputs and outputs to make this less confusing. You can rename the playback device you use for transmitting digital modes from "Speaker" to something like "Radio Transmitter" and the recording device you use for receiving digital modes from "Microphone" to something like "Radio Receiver".?

The "default communications device" in Windows is the sound card device used by VoIP programs (e.g. Skype or Zoom). It has nothing to do with radio communications, and should not be used for that purpose. The "default communications device" in Windows should normally be set to be the motherboard sound card, the same as the regular "default device".

Note that in addition to the master volume level controls, in the Windows 11 Sound Settings there are also application-specific level settings. You should check these to make sure that the application-specific settings for fldigi have not been defaulted to zero.
