Picture of suggestion to set shortcuts for audio input/output switching

I have uploaded explaining the idea. Many times I need to switch either the output audio or the input audio and would love a way to set a shortcut to do this. In the image uploaded I highlight the audio section of the shortcuts, but there is no option to set the shortcut keys for Audio Input switching (for the ones enabled) and for Audio Output Switching (for the ones enabled) since I can disabled them if not needed.

For example I might be playing a game with Speaker audio but then I need to go into a meeting with headphone.

So this would be a great idea to include. Thank you.
