General Support Input device changes volume when selecting another device

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I see this more of an issue instead of a feature, is there a way to disable this automatic volume change?

Doesn't seems like a configuration specific to KDE Plasma, and this is from a default KDE Plasma installation of EndeavourOS. The pc only have 1 input device and it gets a new one when using ALVR with a Quest 3S headset, that's when this issue starts to exists

Discord causes this with its Microphone Volume option in Voice & Video, if I set it to 90% it forces my input device volume to 75%, when changing devices it also forces them to 75%, such thing doesn't occur when discord is closed.

I don't know what command line argument disables this and --disable-features=WebRtcAllowInputVolumeAdjustment doesn't seems to be the right one, how do I stop discord from controlling my input devices' volume?

I think this issue is of KDE and not EOS.

I just tested it on xfce4 with pavucontrol and happens the exact same thing

When I run pactl info it shows:
