Windows 10: Audio is playing out both my speakers and headphones

My computer uses the Realtek HD Audio Manager. I have headphones plugged into the front panel and speakers plugged into the board itself on the back. I use nircmd to switch the default audio device between the speakers and headphones.

When I have the headphones set as the default device, audio plays out only the headphones. When the speakers are the default device, audio plays out both the speakers and the headphones. I can't figure out how to actually disable audio from the headphones when the speakers are the default device (short of disabling the actual device or unplugging it).

How can I properly disable the headphones when I want to use the speakers?

Laptop doesn't recognize headphones but still play through both speakers and headphones

Hello,

When I plug in my headphones, audio plays through both the speakers and the headphones. I cannot turn the speakers off. When I open the 'Sound' menu to view my 'Playback Devices,' only the speakers appears. There is no option for headphones. It appears as
if my laptop does not recognize they are plugged in (even though audio still plays through them and the speakers). If I disable the speakers, nothing works.

Please help

 

Open Realtek Audio Manager in Control Panel:

 

The below image is what I have in the advanced options section (clicking the gear icon). If I select the top option under Playback Device then I can only play to the headphones when they're plugged in, no switching back and forth. The second option is what I've had it on, but it always plays out the headphones regardless.

This is driver version 6.0.1.7727 if that matters.
