Pipewire or Pulseaudio auto-adjusting the microphone volume is causing me problems because it is not adjusting upwards but only downwards, is there a way to disable this permanently?
I found the solution
create this file:
touch ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/pipewire-pulse-rules.conf
and add the apps that you don’t want to modify your audio:
pulse.rules = [
{
# Disable mic auto gain for some applications
matches = [
{ application.process.binary = "chrome" }
{ application.process.binary = "Discord" }
{ application.process.binary = "teams" }
{ application.process.binary = "skypeforlinux" }
]
actions = { quirks = [ block-source-volume ] }
}
]
