SUMMARY If I set my microphone volume to 150% my microphone volume will randomly get reset to somewhere between 40% to 96%. I'm using the latest versions of KDE and pipewire available to me. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change the global microphone volume to 150% in Plasma (You'll need to toggle raise max volume) 2. Wait anywhere between 1 second and 20 minutes 3. Microphone volume will be suddenly reset OBSERVED RESULT My Microphone volume will randomly change from 150% (Which is what I have it set to) to a seemingly random number (I've seen anywhere from 40%-96%) EXPECTED RESULT It should stay 150% and not change. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Artix Linux (runit) Kernel Version: 6.10.1-zen1-1-zen KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I've used Plasma 6 before on Void Linux with basically the same setup and never had this problem. I'm starting pipewire through this login script specifically: ``` #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/pipewire & /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse & /usr/bin/wireplumber ```

Can't seem to reproduce on git master, arch linux, wayland. Do you ever change the microphone source or profile? Seeing a random level like that seems to suggest that something may by changing it in the background. Does this ever happen with a new user and no apps that could interfere with the microphone level running?
