I don't see a way of mapping or creating a macro. Thanks for clarifying. I think the way that you were doing it may be the only way. But maybe there is a way to accelerate it. I don't see a way to get to the Levels tab of a particular Microphone and toggle its Mute button but that is the kind of thing that you could do with a macro.

It would be most reliable if you had only keystrokes to get there but supposedly mouse movements and button presses can be included too. That last one has the novel idea of disabling the device which definitely would effectively mute it and be easier to implement. It uses the devcon utility to do that which might be going outside the bounds of your "no third-party software" requirement. That at least launches the Properties window.

I believe this information should be sufficient to generate a keyboard macro which will do what is wanted. Alternatively all of this functionality could be added to a script using SendKeys and then that script could be mapped to an unused Favorites button. You can also find from the same search some developers gagging at the thought of using Sendkeys.

I say, if it works, it's good enough. I had the same issue. I found a workable solution. Part of my job is interacting with live streaming video so I too needed something that was fast that didn't interfere too much with what I was doing. It is not a keystroke, but it ended up being the best option for me. When I click it, it takes me immediately to the microphone sound controls.

So, with two quick mouse clicks I can mute. It is also a small window so it can easily pop up in front of what you are doing, and disappear again just as fast.
