Add "Default Communication Device" Option to Output Device List
I'd like to request the option to select your default communication device from windows when selecting your output device in Discord. There are a ton of gaming headsets on the market that have 2 inputs, "Voice" and "Game" Outputs. So basically you will set the "Game" output as your default device and the "Voice" output as your default communication device in windows. Then you can can mix the volume between these 2 inputs using the headset.
The problem is that in discord, you can only select your default device or manually select the output. This wouldn't normally be a problem because you should be able to set it and forget it, however, if you own multiple headphones or even have speakers that you like to swap to sometimes, this is a really annoying task to constantly be changing your manually set Output device in discord.
This is just my specific use case, but I know this would be a really useful feature to have. Most popular communication applications like Zoom, Teams, Skype, etc all let you select the default communication device in their software so its a bit odd that discord doesn't let you.
I've attached a little picture that should help explain what this feature should look like and how it should function.
