ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sometime ago, I saw this issue in Reddit and a KDE dev said it was a limitation of PulseAudio, something like that. If this is correct, then implementing a popup asking "which device you connected?" would be a solution. GNOME uses this, I attached a screenshot showing this feature.

I've periodically experienced the same issue, and unplugging it and plugging it back in is a workaround.
Comment 2 Lua 2021-01-26 16:40:01 UTC 
Yeah, I do that also.
