Question Will Windows 10 recognize two different audio devices on one audio splitter?

[hockeyjeng]

Was just wondering if an audio splitter would recognize both my headphones and speakers individually even though the splitter is just using the single port. Also, would I be able to switch back and forth from my headphones to speakers or vice versa just from one audio splitter? When I was using my headphones using the back audio jack and my speakers using the front audio jack I was able to switch freely just using an audio switcher. Would like to not use the front audio jack just due to cable management. Any other suggestions would also be great!

Thanks!

analog audio are "dumb" only digital connections will have any kind of "who are you?"
