Realtek Audio Driver

Hello. So I have an MSI GS65 Stealth 9SD laptop, and I'm trying to separate the audio of the headphones from the built in speakers, so I don't have to unplug my headphones every time I want to play something through my speakers. I've looked on the internet, and everyone says to do it through Realtek Audio Console>advanced settings, but on my Realtek Audio Console, there is no option for advanced settings. How else can I do this? I have already uninstalled Realtek Audio Driver from the Device Manager, and redownloaded the driver from the MSI website. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    MSI determines what audio features get turn on by their drivers.

    Sometimes things like equalizers gets disabled because they have other "premium" equalizers in nahimic or dolby or dts or icepower. Operating 2 equalizers together would ruin your sound.

    Sometimes they are lazy and they figure that since 99% of the handsets have their own physical volume knob --- they don't need to turn on the separate audio stream feature in order for you to have separate volume controls for your headphone. Lenovo doesn't treat separate audio stream as a "feature", it kind of treats it as a nuisance to give you a separate headphone volume control.

    It is strange that Realtek Audio does not have the options, I have been consulting, but I did not find additional information on the subject.

    I recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the laptop to see if they can provide you with additional information. However, I am going to release your query so that other advisors can help you.
