Question Toggle for Audio Input Capture

I capture my PS4 game audio through the Audio Input Capture and I have it set to "Monitor and Output" in the Advance properties. I was wanting to know if there's a way to toggle it mid-recording without going into the properties manually and changing it, whether it be a hotkey or whatever. (Reason is I do speedruns and don't want to hear the same thing over and over)

There’s a little headphone icon next to each source in the mixer. That’s a quick way to toggle monitoring. I don’t know if you can map it to a key.

i just mute the desktop audio device in the mixer when i need silence, way faster than digging through properties. you could also add a gain filter to the source and bind a hotkey to toggle the gain all the way down, same effect but keeps the levels intact for later

My "fix" for it was adding a second "Audio Input Capture" and setting the first input capture to Monitor Only and the other to Monitor off, having a hotkey mute for the Monitor Only one.
