I dont know why, my microphone volume is changing automaticly. In pavucontrol, I set my mic to 25% but when I start talking it changes to 50 %. Anyone got a solution on how to disable pavucontrol changing my mic volume? Please help

This is not meant to be a reply but a comment. I have a similar experience with my laptop when Skype is turned on. In your screen shots it looks like you use Skype as well. Maybe you can see if the problem disappears if you turn it off?

Edit 1. In Skype's Options --> Sound uncheck the tick that allows Skype to automatically control the volume settings.

Edit 2. If it is not Skype, I am afraid I do not know how to resolve this issue. In any case, is this question not a duplicate of

How to disable microphone from auto adjusting its input volume

which after two years does not seem to be fully resolved.

I think I have an answer for this, it worked on my machine and it's only a theory. I have three mics on my machine, one built into the desktop, one on the camera and another on my headset. I found that if one of the other mics picked up sound, it dropped the gain on the others. I disabled the camera mic and unplugged the desktop and the headset is working fine now.

Not sure if this helps anyone, but thought it worth mentioning.
