This took a while but thank goodness it is finally fixed.

Create this file at ~/.config/wireplumber/main.lua.d/99-stop-microphone-auto-adjust.lua

INFO

If this does not work then change electron to the application.process.binary of Chromium input client in wpctl. Example wpctl status (lets say Chromium input is 57), wpctl inspect 57.

    table.insert (default_access.rules,{
        matches = {
            {
                { "application.process.binary", "=", "electron" }
            }
        },
        default_permissions = "rx",
    })

If you are on NixOS you can also use home.file from home-manager to easily write this file.

home.nix

  home = {
    file = {
      ".config/wireplumber/main.lua.d/99-stop-microphone-auto-adjust.lua".text = ''
        table.insert (default_access.rules,{
            matches = {
                {
                    { "application.process.binary", "=", "electron" }
                }
            },
            default_permissions = "rx",
        })
      '';
    };
  };
