Windows 10: How can I put mmsys.cpl on the task bar?

I have asked here how I can set HDMI to drive audio always but was offered no solution.

I have asked here how I can set laptop audio to be driven always but was offered no solution.

To clarify: I want all audio outputs to be driven at all times.

I now ask for a simple workaround.

How can I put mmsys.cpl on the task bar? I ask this so that I can switch audio without having to plow through Control Panel.


Given that an always-driven method can't be found, a one-click script solution:

[_] HDMI audio

[_] Speakers

on the task bar or in the notification area would be ideal.


May I note that my audio is not malfunctioning, that it is working as designed, that its that design that is flawed.


Thanks for your attention and for any bright ideas.
