It sounds like the definition of an audio device "connecting" is a
little too broad in this case, so understandably annoying.
There is a simple workaround that should work for you though:
1. mkdir ~/.config/pulse
2. cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.config/pulse/default.pa
3. Edit ~/.config/pulse/default.pa and remove this:
### Use hot-plugged devices like Bluetooth or USB automatically (LP:
#1702794)
.ifexists module-switch-on-connect.so
load-module module-switch-on-connect
.endif
4. If that didn't work then try removing:
### Should be after module-*-restore but before module-*-detect
load-module module-switch-on-port-available

Title:
Network sound devices are always set as default
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I notice that when I connect to a wireless network with an Apple TV,
the network device is set as the default audio device. This happens
even if I have manually set it otherwise.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Connect to network with an Apple TV.
2. PulseAudio picks up the Apple TV device and sets it as default.
3. Manually set the built-in audio card as default.
4. Disconnect from the audio network, and reconnect.
5. PulseAudio again sets the Apple TV device as default.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
Step 2 is debatable, but step 5 definitely should not happen.
This is on Kubuntu 17.04 with pulseaudio 1:10.0-1ubuntu2 and plasma-pa
4:5.9.5-0ubuntu0.1.
