I have periodic problems when web browser for some reason selects this "Monitor of Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo" input source as input. E.g. today it happened with unholy combination of microsoft teams and firefox.
How can I delete this device (sink? source?) forever? I get no benefit from its existence.
EDIT:
I don't know why msteams did pick up this source. Might be because one tab temporarily was "holding" the proper audio source (microphone)
Anyway, I want to make it gone. My logic is simple, if it's impossible to select "Monitor of Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo" in firefox, then I'll never have this problem. I guess I can configure firefox to ignore it, but could there be a pulseaudio solution?
I'm running xubuntu 20.04. In
pactl list
the device looks like this

EDIT2
Please don't tell me to set "Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo" to output only. Because, even if this helps with removing "Monitor of ..." sound source, I will lose access to my microphone.
