Windows 10: How to force audio out to built in speakers when mic is plugged in headphone jack

I've plugged in a PowerDeWise lapel microphone in my laptop's single (headphone) jack. It works. I want the audio out to come through the built in speakers instead of the jack, but it seems that once I've got something plugged in the headphone jack, it wants to output through it. Anyone know how to force audio output through built in speaker even though there's something plugged in the headphone jack? By the way, I only have one playback device - see image attached.

how can i get the mic on the earphones to work?

 

Mic/Headphone ports not working correctly - Acer Aspire 7745

The speakers are 'plugged in' already as it is a laptop. With no external mic, headphones or external speakers plugged in, the Sound Control Panel lists three things under 'Playback' - HDMI, 'Speakers' and 'Realtek Digital Output' - the Speakers under 'Playback' is set as the default.

Under 'Recording' with no external mic plugged in these are listed - 'Microphone', 'Line In' and 'Stereo Mix' (Disabled) - the microphone (in this case, the internal one) is set to 'Default' under 'Recording' as well.

I don't have my headset here to test an external mic right now, but with normal external headphones plugged in, there is no change to the Sound Control Panel under 'Playback' - the same three listings (HDMI, 'Speakers' and 'Realtek Digital Output') with 'Speakers' set as the Default. If I make a noise, say, play a video, I can see the sound meters move to the sound, but no sound comes out of the headphones.

 

How to force laptop to play through built-in speaker even when headphone jack is plugged in?

When I was attempting to take out my headphones I accidentally snapped the metallic connector off, so it became stuck in my computer's headphone jack slot. As a result, my computer now thinks there are headphones plugged in even though there are none plugged in. How do I force my laptop to play through the default speakers that are built into it?
