Pavucontrol will let you select inputs and outputs on a per-app basis. This

pulseaudio is running, so it takes over control of alsa settings. Everytime
the pulse daemon starts, it will reset alsa to it's own defaults, ignoring
whatever you try and set. That's how pulse works and is literally one of
the reasons why so many slackware users flat out refuse to run pulseaudio.
In general, if you are running pulseaudio you should try to go through
pulseaudio.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: My understanding is that services like Zoom provide a central
server that allows clients to talk to each other. The only IP address you
need is that of the server, the others are abstracted away from the client.
instead,
