Description

### What Happened?

When plugging in a headset to my notebook the sound and voice aren't automatically transferred to peripheral device automatically.
It works correctly if I navigate to System Settings > Sound, and then manually adjust where to route these functions.
Perhaps it may be a conscious WAD, but it would be nice if users could opt-in for an automatic switch of both functions upon plugin of the peripheral device.

### Steps to Reproduce

Plugin Headset.
Expected behaviour: sound and voice should be handled via peripheral device.
Actual result: both sound and voice are still handled via built-in mic/speakers.

### Expected Behavior

Workaround: having the user navigate to system settings > Sound and manually adjust which option should be the controller.
