How to change the AudioClip of an AudioSource from script in Unity?

What I'm trying to do is changing the AudioClip to be played from a script on the AudioSource GameObject depending on the text of an button (difficulty of the game) when the it's pressed.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class AudioEffects : MonoBehaviour
{
    public AudioClip easyMusic;
    public AudioClip hardMusic;

    public AudioSource audioSource;

    [SerializeField]
    private Text difficultyButtonText;

    public void ChangeMusic()
    {
        var difficultyText = difficultyButtonText.text;
        var audioClip = audioSource.clip;
        
        if (difficultyText == "Easy")
        {
            audioClip = easyMusic;
            audioSource.Play();
        }
        else if (difficultyText == "Hard")
        {
            audioClip = hardMusic;
            audioSource.Play();
        }
    }
}

Searched within the Unity Documentation, but nothing useful for the project. Within StackOverFlow found an answer, but there's no better way of doing it?

You have never actually changed the value in the audioSource component. Just returning clip doesn't give you a reference to the property, it returns the value of clip. In your case you are creating a variable audioClip with the value of whatever audioSource.clip is at that time. From then on you just change the value in your variable, not your AudioSource component.

To solve it: You could either remove the audioClip variable all together and just assign audioSource.clip directly or set audioSource.clip at the end of your code to audioClip.
