Realtek Detection Issue: Steelseries 7h Headphones Recognized as Speakers in Rear Panel Jack

How can I make Realtek detect my headphones as headphones instead of speakers when plugged into the rear panel jack?

Uninstall the Realtek audio drivers; in the thread, removing them made the headphones start being detected correctly as “headphones” [#11878010] The motherboard/codec does not really distinguish speakers from headphones on its own—it only detects that something is plugged in—so the sound behavior is mostly handled by the driver and mixer settings [#11876258]

    I have Steelseries 7h headphones connected to the jack directly to the rear panel and instead of Headphones, it detects as speakers. I connected others, the same.

    True, there is a different amplification for headphones. Click on the green circle on the right and select "headphones".

    After clicking the green circle, nothing appears and there is nowhere to select "headphones".

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    I will add that the audio driver version is: 6.0.1.6167
    audio codec: ALC892

    Connect headphones to the front panel.

    Double-clicking does nothing. Clicking on these circles only changes the tabs, e.g. to the microphone if I click pink. On the front panel, if I plug in the headphones, nothing changes. I would like to add that before the format (made today) I had a sound blaster x-fi surround 5.1 pro sound card and in its configuration it was possible to change everything without any problems. I thought to change something in the registry, but I do not know anything about it.

    Disable headphone detection when connected to the front panel.

    I did as you said. When I connect the speakers to the rear or front panel (before disabling the detection option, of course) it always shows that they are speakers, headphones are the same. Screen after disabling detection options:

    Motherboard does not recognize devices, does not distinguish between speakers and headphones and will not detect them in any way. It only detects the connection of the device.
    You have a mixer at your disposal to set the timbre of the sound and that should be enough.
