Usually PipeWire handles these situations better than PulseAudio, which is still the default audio daemon in many/most distributions.

To properly support Pro Audio you have to completely switch the audio stack to JACK - which I also used in MacOS a few years ago because Apple's audio stack wasn't up to the task as well.

It's more that Mac and Windows do better at auto-switching to mono+mic mode vs stereo audio mode than Linux in practice. If I don't manually switch in the audio settings it's problematic... I usually just use my webcam mic and keep my headset on stereo despite the reduced quality for others hearing me.
