Question Help with headphones and speakers

[Mockingjason]

Realtek recognizes my headphones as speakers so I have to unplug them to be able to use the speakers (they are being recognized as speakers too). Speakers are at the back jack and headphones at the front.

So what's the problem?
There is no difference between speaker and headphone, except in spelling.
You can't use speaker and headphone at same time.

no.. you can click on the volume icon in the lower right corner and select what you want. but anyway i use a dac that does the same thing. you can plug in powered speakers and headphones, but phones take preference to speakers, you have to unplug the cans to get the speakers to work.

it's working as designed

what im telling you is that windows recognizes them as 1 device, when i select speakers it plays from the headphones until i unplug them. its the only device being recognized
