SUMMARY
When plugging in or unplugging my microphone that is part of my headphones, under ports for audio output the output will be changed away to line out  from headphones in both cases.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in/unplug microphone

OBSERVED RESULT
The audio output gets changed to line out (that would be my speakers) away from the headphones.

EXPECTED RESULT
Audio output doesn't get changed because of a microphone gets plugged.

As far as I know we do not do automatic port changes, that'd be done upstream in pipewire/wireplumber. Best report a bug there.
Comment 2 Répási Dávid 2024-10-04 06:39:05 UTC 
Well, when the system detects a sudden spike in the audio, and mutes/switches output sources for saving your ears, for me it switches to line out from headphones. I say this beacuse the ear protection is a plasma feature, so is it supposed to mute the output instead of switching output sources in that case as well?
Comment 3 Harald Sitter 2024-10-04 11:01:16 UTC 
I have never seen code for that that feature. Do you have some documentation/info on it?
