MacOS Audio API
Thanks for the comment. I checked out Rogue Amoeba's SoundSource, and BackgroundMusic. I think they're using some sort of virtual audio device or something to intercept applications' audio data, control each application's volume, and then send it to the speakers (or another output device).

Old sound output app still shows up in the Sound menu bar menu
I had an app called Background Music that I deleted a few days ago, but it still shows up as an audio output in the Sound menu bar menu as well as in Settings.

App to automatically pause Spotify/Apple Music when YouTube video starts playing
Tried https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic before. But didn't work for me.
- As someone who works from coffee shops often, I WISH the MacOS volume glyph would reflect a connected device like iOS does

Microphone software
For the Mic mute there are a few free programs which can do that. One is called MicMute and another is called MicSwitch. At least one of them can use a hotkey.

Win11 - Is there a SHORTCUT to activate the microphone the EXACT same way as if clicking the mic button on the virtual keyboard IN THE TASKBAR
I don’t think you can natively, but there are apps that will do it. This one looks promising.

A 5-inch Touch Screen and Rainmeter, an Alternative to a StreamDeck or MIDI Device
Finally, the last program I used is called MicSwitch. This program is actually something I had used before buying the 5-inch display, I just used a hotkey instead. This lets me mute or unmute my microphone using one of the dock's buttons. I used MicSwitch's overlay function to have an updating indicator on the dock. I just placed it over the button.
- I would like to have the ability to speak without pressing a key for a few seconds in voice chat.

micSwitch - mute/unmute your system microphone

I can no longer hide from hunts
Even if you dont have a switch, you can still mute your mic using MicSwitch, which in my opinion is arguably better as it allows you to set your own hotkeys, and choose between toggling your mic and push to talk/mute. Certainly, any way of mic muting is the way to go here.

Hotkey to mute Microsoft Team Call
I basically use the system-wide mute/unmute toggle via this app. https://github.com/iXab3r/MicSwitch - its very reliable... you can also assign your own hotkey in the app itself

Just a friendly heads-up that a program called MicSwitch exists. It lets you bind mic muting to a key, gives you a sound when you go on/off mute, and lets you customize an overlay that shows you if you're muted or not.
