Is there a hardware solution for switching between two different audio devices with a buttonpress? It'd be really cool to have a physical switch to flip, rather than having to ever touch a button or interact with device drivers. I don't know what sort of device would perform this functionality though.

Switch between a pair of headphones and a pair of speakers without touching anything software related, basically

Every fucking one I have owned has done it at least once. I keep it all elsewhere after the first instance, but damn, it takes some effort to cultivate driving music only from 10 billions songs
