Windows 10: Headphones not recognised as separate audio device from laptop speakers

I own a thinkpad running Windows 11, and whenever I plug in headphones into the audio jack it does not recognise it to be a separate audio device. Everything works fine, even the mic on the headphones, but I need to switch to laptop speakers without plugging them out sometimes, and its just annoying. I have attached screenshots of mmsys.cpl befoore and after plugging in the headphones and there is literally no change. What should I do?

(laptop/windows10)headphones recognized as speakers

Hello,

as I used to know headphones and speakers(integrated) are
two separate devices meaning that in playback devices or in
device manager's audio inputs and outputs devices
they are listed separately and whenever you
plug/unplug the headphones it appears/disappears in them, that's the normal state.

However, in my laptop (it's an Asus X550V with Windows 10 x64-bit installed in it) when I plug the headphones it works but
it does not show up in the
playback devices nor in the device manager's audio inputs and outputs devices and it
doesn't perform as headphones either, the sound is way quiet than it should be.

Here are the resolutions that I tried and failed to solve the problem with mentioning that I encountered an interesting
close up to the solution in one part but an other problem occurred:

• unplugging/replugging the headphones did not work
• restarting the computer did not work
• troubleshooting audio problems did not detect anything wrong
• (edit) I used the headphones on another laptop(windows 7) and it was detected as headphones
• in playback devices show disabled devices and show disconnected devices are ticked, unfortunately, only speakers is in the list of playback devices meaning there is no way that the headphones is disabled
• disabling speakers did not work(no audio output device is enabled sign appears with no doubt) (enabled back)
• I uninstalled every single sound,video and game controller device in the
  device manager(Nvidia hdmi audio/Realtek hd audio/I'm not sure what if it was Intel or Microsoft hd audio but when checking it's proprieties it was manufactured by Microsoft ) including their drivers, restarted the computer as it asked and
  a here I was too close to the solution, the speakers and the headphones are separated but when I tested the speakers it didn't work(it exists in playback devices with the state enabled there I finally saw headphones as disconnected) so I plugged the headphones
  and it worked properly and as I wanted them to work with loud volume and the ability to change its properties as headphones not as speakers, here I should mention that the speakers is still enabled and I am able to switch between the two devices again however
  only the headphones work. After some moments windows update detected the missing driver, installed it automatically and windows demanded restarted in order to finish the installation of the driver so I restarted the laptop and everything is back to first problem,
  only the speakers show and the headphones don't and it works as speaker resulting the low volume.(I should also mention that Nvidia audio device disappeared even if I scan for hardware changes but no need for it because It'll have me to reinstall the whole
  Nvidia driver/meanwhile that Intel or Microsoft hd audio device faced problems starting and installing driver with an error (code 10))
• I isolated the PC from every source of Internet and repeated the whole previous step certainly windows update did not detect the driver because the laptop is offline, I installed the driver through the DVD accompanied with the computer.(this denies that
  the latest version of the driver is the problem because the version manually installed was older) and it did not work(yes I passed through that close up again but after all it's not a solution)
  

Help me I need to use the sound(edit) through my headphones and properly in my games but this problem is preventing me!

 

Laptop speakers and plugged in headphone audio plays at the same time

Just downloaded the most recent Windows 10 update. But now, even when my headphones are plugged in, I get audio from both the headphone and the internal speakers. Instead of a separate "speaker" and "headphone" sections in the sounds menu, it's listed
as "Speaker/Headphone." Surely, this is not a feature people wanted. There is no problem when using Bluetooth headphones, just the audio jack.

 

Bluetooth device connected but not recognised as audio device W10

I recently purchased some bluetooth headphones (GLITOBT18). I managed to connect them to my laptop running windows 10.




However, i cant find the device in the playback settings and i therefore cant play audio through the headphones.





I think this may have something to do with the fact that windows is recognising it as a bluetooth headset rather than a speaker? Any help would be massively appreciated!
