Description of Problem:
When joining a Webex conference HTML5 via plain Browser (Google Crome) and selecting the the usb headset as dedicated microphone it doesn't work, or rather stops working after a second.
What works though is just using the "Standard" as microphone which seems to give the headset priority over the webcam and works.
What also works is selecting the usb webcam as dedicated microphone, the issue doesn't appear there, only with the usb headset.
What also works is doing it within Firefox, no problems there.
In the KDE Plasma sound applet one can see the amplitudes when speaking into the microphone and it works well, just nothing is transmitted in the Webex Chrome session.
The journal doesn't list anything obvious:
$ journalctl --user-unit=pipewire --user-unit=pipewire-media-session --user-unit=pipewire-pulse -f

How Reproducible:
Join a Webex HTML5 conference with Google Chrome, select the usb headset as dedicated microphone and experience the problem immediately.
Actual Results:
Microphone doesn't work within the Webex conference in Google Chrome when explicitly selected.
Expected Results:
Have the microphone working just like with Pulseaudio and/or within Firefox.
Additional Info Eg. pw-dump -N > file
(As Attachment Please):
Attached are two dumps, one where things fail with the headset explicitly selected and the second one after switching to "Standard" where things work, see Screenhot above.
