[Pipewire/Wireplumber] My machine has a weird quirk that means (without the Windows drivers installed, yes it happen in Windows too), having anything plugged into the headphone jack causes it to rapidly switch between headphones and speakers. How can I get it so it's less sensitive?

I run KDE Linux, which is immutable. It DOES NOT have a package manager other than Flatpak. So I'll have to do all this in the user config level. Please keep that in mind when you're suggesting solutions. This means no hdajackretask.

I CAN use Helvum except the interface is so fucking obtuse that even I, as a Blender user, can't figure that shit out. So I'd prefer not using that.

IDEALLY I'd keep autodetection intact, and just decrease the sensitivity (if that's at all possible), or straight up ignore rapid switches (i.e headphones have to be unplugged/plugged in for 10ms or more to be registered).

Realistically though, the easiest solution is to disable jack detection like I normally would using hdajackretask on other distros, but I just don't know how to do that and Google-fu results in answers that don't work for me.

What I've tried so far is adding options snd_hda_intel jack_detect=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-jack.conf, since that seemed to be the easiest solution. That didn't end up working
