Description

@fernando-jose-silva

Steps to reproduce:

I have a working machine that has a curious operation.
There are two separate sound cards, one for the headphones and one for the speakers in the notebook.
The change does not start automatically, when the headset is removed the sound does not go to the speakers, the sound continues to be sent to the output p2 which logically can not be heard because the headset is no longer connected.
Every time I want to use the speakers I have to enter the menu of the nvda and change the sound card, and the opposite as well.
To make my job easier I would like a shortcut key that would make the nvda switch to the next available sound driver.
As I think this demand is small this shortcut key could not be assigned by default and configured by users when ouver demand.

Actual behavior:

To change the sound output of nvda it is necessary to use the nvda menu.

Expected behavior:

suggestion would be to have a shortcut key to switch to the next available sound output.
