Well my problems in Plasma persisted through 3 different Linux distributions:
CachyOS, Kubuntu and Bazzite so even though they have different bases CachyOS
being Arch  based, Kubuntu being Ubuntu based and Bazzite being Fedora based
the issue still happened the same with KDE Plasma DE through all 3 of them. 

I can try running Bazzite with the Gnome DE through the LiveCD and see if the
sound issues are the same as I have on Plasma however I suspect it'll be closer
to what I experience on Ubuntu. 

Also note I have tried using programs like PAVU (PulseAudio Volume Control) to
try to adjust master volume levels and see if there is any remedy for it,
however literally any option or control I touch in PAVU makes my volume jump
well over 100% and continually makes it even louder. Which makes me worried for
my laptop because damage caused by the user or OS is not covered by the
warranty so using programs or similar applications is out of the question for
now.
