Windows 10: Shortcut / script to switch default Playback Device setting between two devices?

I regularly switch between two default audio devices - my headphones when I'm sitting, and my second monitor's built-in speakers for when I'm afk / standing / doing stuff around my room. I'd like to be able to streamline the process as much as I can, because it helps me be a bit more productive.

As it stands, to change my default output device I have to click the volume thing in the system tray, click the new dropdown, and then click the other device after making sure I have it highlighted. Three clicks and a check.

I'm after installing SoundSwitch, which is slightly better but not perfect. I can use a keyboard and mouse macro to do it but I prefer not to take up keys doing things. I can now double click a tiny icon in the system tray.

My ideal solution would be to just be able to single-click a shortcut on my taskbar and have it switch from the headphones to the TV or vice versa. I created a clickable shortcut on my taskbar to toggle mute / unmute on my line in using Sound Volume View, but sadly I can't seem to find a way to create a shortcut for this in SVV, just one to set a singular device as default.

Would this be possible?

For reference, in the sound flyout, my headphones are called 'Headset Earphone (CORSAIR VOID RGB USB Gaming Headset)' and the monitor is 'DSGI TV (NVIDIA High Definition Audio)'.
