Catalina on an EHD Running Sierra on a late 2013 iMac. Loaded Catalina on a 1TB Crucial SSD EHD. No real problems switching between OSs. However on Disk Utility the Catalina volume is not on the Crucial EHD, but on Apple APFSMedia. And running First Aid doesn't work on either Catalina volumes. Is this or can this be a problem?

upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur 11.5 (not 11.6) needed/ sound eruptions Avid Media Composer 2021. 9 is only compatible with Big Sur 11.5.x, not 11.6. I need to upgrade from Catalina, but only to 11.5. Is that possible? Talked to Apple, but didn't get a solution for that. The reason? The Avid MC 2021 9 has caused a wildly brutal sound eruption through speakers on 4 occasions - sound preferences are set to headphones, not speakers. Tried a restart and the noise happened threefold when starting up. What can be the cause? This started three days ago after upgrading from MC2021 6 to 9.

No sound device for input or output after installing Ben Sur OS Before installing Ben Sur OS I had ensured I had a successful Backup to my TimeMachine. Even went further by physically copying root directory files to the NAS backup folder. Installation of the Ben Sur progressed with no error warnings*, except discovering the absence of a sound device once newly booted into the OS. Sound is available for Sound Effects, Siri, Music app and FaceTime. However, any applications that require a sound device (output or input) produces no sound. e.g. Watching Twitch app has no sound, YouTube within a browser - no sound, recording using Quicktime has no sound. Tried to no avail the following: Asked Siri to unmute speakers Restarted Ben Sur OS Using Migration Tool: Restore to TimeMachine (before installation date) Reboot holding ⌥ + R expecting to be able Re-install Catalina OS (only Ben Sur option available) *Only other oddity was finding mixed/jumbled text in Chrome; this was fixed by removing and re-installing the Roboto font. Where can I download the Catalina OS? (I have, so far, only been able to find updates - I don't see it in the App Store) I thought restoring to TimeMachine, would include when it was Catalina? Seems not the case, could you confirm? Any other advice welcomed to downgrade from Ben Sur OS back to Catalina OS. Here is my MBP spec:
