Windows 10: A question on Playback devices

I have a Razer Kraken X Headset and I've seen that it is being recognised as a Speaker in the Sound Control Panel, I've seen people with Headphones instead of Speakers in the control panel. Is this normal?

Playback devices

Before I received the Creators update, plugging my headphones into the front jack socket did not automatically switch the default playback device from speakers to headphones. I had to go to the playback device menu and do this manually. Since the update, plugging in the headphones works exactly as it should but, oddly, the headphones no longer appear as an option in the playback menu. Any suggestion why?
It has also been some considerable time since I was able to access the via hd console. Clicking on VIAAUD in Program Files has no effect whatsoever. Any views on this?
