Description Ribbon 2024-11-13 19:30:28 UTC 
I have problems with automatic microphone sensitivity where my microphone volume get very low.

To my knowledge, there is no "automatic microphone sensitivity" feature in Plasma. Where are you seeing it?

Based on what GNOME developers said the programs with automatic microphone sensitivity (most known as "Automatic gain control") seems to change the microphone volume slider on GNOME Shell and KDE Plasma.

I see this when doing voice calls on Telegram Desktop and Discord.

If this is correct and there's nothing that KDE Plasma can do, you can close this feature request.

Same conclusion here, yeah: it's an app or pipewire doing it out from under us. You'll need to complain to one of those projects.
