There is a soft mixer feature of pipewire that effectively leaves the actual device audio at 100% all the time and adjusts the volume in software instead.
That should (in theory) prevent that, but it would probably mean a bit more energy usage. I doubt it would be enough to measure though.
If you're interested I can find more details. I have it setup in my nixOS config for one of my devices that has some odd audio issues.
