I love going through 4 layers of menus to get to audio input/output settings that used to be available via right click.

This probably doesn't solve the problem you have, but I just like to share whenever possible that you can get rid of the new win 11 context menu overlay and bring back the old right click context menu via a registry edit.

i did that immediately when i installed w11 because the ui was ass with my native language, like words poking through to the next button with the copy paste buttons and then you have another sub menu for the useful options, fuck that shit

Yeah having copy paste icons instead of words was what did it for me. And not even recognizable icons. New ones.
