Issue in Plasma 6.5.5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple audio devices (in my case it's a HDMI cable connected to a 4K TV and a bluetooth Haylou 2023).
2. Changes their settings a couple of times.

OBSERVED RESULT
One mic is tied to another mic, and one device is permanently with the mute symbol but isn't actually muted.

EXPECTED RESULT
Everything should work.
