Hey!
In Ubuntu (gnome) 21.10 I have a microphone connected via USB
Sometimes I have to connect a webcam, and when I connect the webcam, the current microphone in the system switches to the camera microphone, I have to run to the sound settings and frantically switch back, (and daily has already started), which I absolutely do not need, but I need the first microphone to be active.
How to disable this behavior?

the following
in /etc/pulse/default.pa helped to comment out the lines
load-module module-switch-on-connect
load-module module-switch-on-port-available
and restart
pulseaudio -k
(do restart without sudo)
