Sorry for the slow response. Pulseaudio does not adjust volumes by itself. The behavior you're decribing is usually a result of one or more videoconferencing apps with a "helpful" adjust-my-mic-volume setting. I personally find those features to cause more problems than they solve, so I disable them. Look through the audio setting of your videoconferencing applications (e.g. Zoom, Skype, Teams, Slack). Unfortunately, Pulse does not have a way of locking out other applications from touching your volumes. That would be a neat feature to have... --Sean
