Automatically change Default Audio Recording/Input device when the Default Audio Playback/Output device is changed.

Question

I currently have a gaming headset w/microphone connected to my PC via USB, and another wireless headset w/microphone connected via Bluetooth. I frequently change between the two headsets depending on my current task. However, it's a minor annoyance to have to manually switch the default microphone when I change recording devices.

I was wondering if there's a setting, registry tweak, or third party program that would allow me to automatically switch my recording device when my playback device changes.

I am currently on Windows 11 Home, Build 21H2.
