Windows 10: Headset and speakers being detected by windows as a single device

Hello. Whenever I have my headset plugged into my PC, I cannot use my speakers because both devices are shown as a single device. Is there any way to fix this and separate the two devices so I can switch between them? Thanks.

Headset Detected as Speakers.



I
have an edifier speaker working... I tried to add up a headset using the front jack... My speaker stopped working and my headphones are detected as speakers. I even tried to change it from the audio manager, to confirm it is selected as headphones not as speakers.
But it stills appear in the playback devices as speakers... I even tried to transfer my headset jack to rear from front and removed my speakers. The result is still the same, I can only use either my speakers or headset because they are overlapping each other
as both speakers. Even though my Asus monitor HDMI speaker is detected properly. I am using windows 10 and ROG MOBO. I know this is an old issue but still an issue for me. Need help.

Plugged into:

LINE OUT GREEN (REAR) and HEADPHONE JACK (Front)

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Only a single audio-output device detected after latest update

Hi there,

today I installed the latest Win10 Creators Update (Spring 2018). According to my system information I am now on version 1803, Build 17134.1.

Right after the update I was no longer able to switch between my primary and secondary audio-devices (speaker and headset). Both are connected via 3.5mm jack (front and back). There is now only a single "Realtek High Definition Audio" in my list of available
devices.

My "Realtek HD Audio Manager" properly lists both audio devices correctly, but even the device manager only shows a single audio-output device.

Even reinstallation of the audio driver did not fix the issue.

How can I enable Windows to properly detect my sound devices again?
