Strange. This feels like it could be a PulseAudio bug to me. Can you install the PulseAudio Volume Control (aka "pavucontrol") app and try changing the volume from that? If it works, then this is not a plasma-pa bug but rather a PulseAudio bug, and you should report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues

Thanks!
