Then you will have issue where incoming call to suspended PPP will decrease the mic so much that it is almost completely silence.

But I am running 6.7.7 at the moment. Does that change anything at all?

Matter of fact it might change something. I am not 100% but almost that with kernel 6.7.7 you should get almost tolerable callaudio in some cases.

try
sudo pacman -Rdd wireplumber && sudo pacman -S pipewire-media-session
reboot and try to call someone.

iirc Arch PPP image comes with wireplumber by default. There is issue with wireplumber (and callaudiod) where voicecall is not routed correctly every time and most of the time it happens in first call what you made.
Why that is issue? Because with older kernels if you did make a call and have audio routed to Speaker (instead of earpiece) your mic becomes really loud - and the mic will stay loud until you reboot. Wireplumber will start often the first call with speaker mode (this is bug) but same thing happens also if you just toggle speaker during call.

And then what? If things work okayish you need to set Capture volume to 160 or near to that. Then just don't suspend or don't use speaker mode during calls and you have tolerable callaudio.

Please also report did it work because I am not 100% about the kernel version thing
