While installing Debian 11, in the very early stages the installer warns that it does not have firmware called "m7601.bin". It asks if I have this file on an ejectable media, like a USB stick or floppy. I continued the installation, but realized that the system doesn't recognize my wifi dongle, and that the system sound doesn't work. Could this firmware be the cause?

Yes, the missing firmware is the cause of the problem.
You need to add contrib and non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list following the second example in Debian Wiki.
Then install the firmware-misc-nonfree providing the mt7601u.bin:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree
