This DO actually solve the switching between plugged in/unplugged states, so i don't get messages, but everything else remains the same.

Changing the 'Connector settings' to AC97 Front Panel.

#HEADSET NOT APPEARING IN AUDIO DEVICES INSTALL#

This didn't even install the Audio Manager application.

Uninstalling the realtek audio drivers, and installing the last version which can be found on Realtek's website (a version from 2017).

Uninstalling the realtek audio drivers, and installing the one suggested by ASUS for my motherboard (6., from 2016).

I can't find a newer one, but the search function works weirdly, so there might be.

#HEADSET NOT APPEARING IN AUDIO DEVICES UPDATE#

uninstalling the realtek audio drivers, and installing the latest from Windows Update Catalogues ( 6.Since the post ended up being excessively long in the end, I compressed this into a spoiler: Here is what I tried until now (neither worked). I first thought that this could be solved by using the latest version of the manager, but it did not help, even when i used the latest, it was all the same. The thing is, that in my audio manager the entire 'playback device' section is missing (the 'recording device' section is there, and the others as well). The most promising thing I kept finding is, that in Realtek HD Audio Manager, amongst the options, under 'Playback Device' you can choose the option to make the front and rear devices playback two different streams. I checked quite a few similar topics on different forums, and I did actually find people with the same problems, but they either managed to solve it with a solution that did not work for me, or it was left unsolved. The speakers, when plugged in alone do recognise as 'speakers'. It doesn't help, if in the realtek's pop-up window, I choose that I connected a headphone. If the headphone is plugged in either the front or rear audio jacks, while the speakers are unplugged, it works perfectly, but it is always recognised as 'speaker' even in the front jack, which is supposed to be for headphones.

I think its worth to mention that I have the ASUS style Realtek manager, and even if I download the driver from the Microsoft Update Catalogue, it always ends up as the ASUS style version. The only change is, that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager I can see the front green jack's symbol being shown as active. Regadless whether the application recognizes it as plugged in or not at a given time, sound do actually always play in both speakers and headphones, and in neither state are they recognized as different devices by the OS. Also, if both are connected, in random intervals (can range from seconds to tens of minutes) I get messages from Realtek HD Audio Manager that in the front audio jack something(obviously the headphone, which is in reality plugged in the whole time) was plugged in/unplugged. However, sound does come out of both simultaneously. But, instead of recognizing the speakers and the headphones as 2 separate playback devices, it only shows one device, labelled as 'speakers'. Currently, on my PC, I have my speakers plugged into the back(green) jack port, and my headphones into the front(green) jack port.
