How to add desktop shortcut to App volume device preferences?

I frequently want to change which audio output device is used by specific apps, and would like to add a desktop shortcut which opens the "App volume device preferences" settings page. Is there any way of doing this? e.g. is there is an ms-settings:xxxx URI that I can use for this specific settings page?

ms-settings:sound,
however, it's the same thing you see when clicking on the Volume icon on your Taskbar.

OK so there's no way of going directly to "App volume device preferences" from a shortcut?

perhaps you're talking about the Sound Control Panel?

mmsys.cpl

or, the Volume Mixer...

sndvol

mmsys.cpl

No it's the Settings page that lets me select which audio input/output device is used by each running App

Don't know of a shortcut description for that page, sorry,
you could use the classic Volume Mixer though: sndvol...

That doesn't allow you to change the audio output device for each app does it? (I have 3 audio devices)

The Devices selection should be on your Right Click Sound Icon box above the Volume Control. In the recent versions of Windows 10. Seems to be only playback devices at present.

Not sure you would get all those selections in there, or whether they intend putting them there.

Send some feedback to MS about what you would like to see there, or indeed elsewhere.

That area has been a bit flaky at times with non appearances of even the Volume Control. Such things happen as they transfer things in the old Control Panel to the Windows 10 settings App.

The only options I get on that right-click menu are:
- Volume mixer
- Open Sound Settings
- Spatial Sound
- Sounds
If I select the Sounds option I can then select the page I want from the Advanced Options, but I was hoping to achieve one-click access to this page.
What's the best way of submitted this sort of feedback to MS?
