When I plug my headphones in, an annoying Windows 10 themed pop-up window appears saying: External audio device detected.

Hi all,When I plug my headphones in, an annoying Windows 10 themed pop-up window appears saying:External audio device detectedIn order to receive the best audio experience please select the type of audio device you have plugged inHeadphoneFront speaker outS/PDIF-OutHeadphone is always already selected. In fact, the headphones work as soon as I plug them in anyway. I imagine audiophiles might have some use for this, but it is completely irrelevant to me. All it does is interrupt whatever program I was using.Usually, I am playing a game in full screen mode, and I have decided to plug my headphones in to not annoy my housemate.
This pop-up window appears and minimizes my game, and I can't get back into it in fullscreen mode, only in a windowed mode with a border around the edge.I know it's not the worst thing in the world, but it is irritating (and really poor design), if anyone knows how i can kill it I would appreciate that.The pop-up window is titled 'Realtek HD Audio', and googling around seems to indicate there is something called a 'Realtek HD Audio Manager'. No such program seems to exist anywhere on my computer. I can't access it in the taskbar, I cant access it through Control Panel, I cant find it when searching, I can't launch it by going to the Realtek folder under Program files and clicking every single.exe file there. It doesn't seem to exist. I have tried updating the Realtek driver, but it is the latest version. There is no panel anywhere to change 'stupid pop-up options'.It doesn't actually look like a third-party window anyway, it looks exactly like a Windows 10 pop-up. It's themed with the Windows 10 colour scheme, it has that blocky toy-ish 'Edge' look to it.
Which Device Did You Plug In Windows 10 1
I have yet to see any other third-party program or driver utility that is themed that way, so I am not actually convinced at all that it is a Realtek fault (despite the window title), it seems to be a Windows 10 problem.Does anyone else know what I am talking about?.
If you recently bought a new Dell Laptop with Windows 10, you may be wondering why the headphone input jack is not working correctly when you plug in speakers or headphones (or possibly a mic). Well, unlike older Dell laptops that may have had two input jacks, one for the speaker/headphone jack and another separate mic/line-in jack, newer Dell laptops typically only come with one input jack that can do multiple things. So if you plug in headphones to the jack, and still hear sound coming out of the laptop speakers, it's probably due to the jack input set to Line In or Mic In, instead of Headphones or Speaker out.Using the 'Dell Audio' program that hopefully came with your Dell laptop, you can change the audio input to the appropriate device that you want to use the input jack for.
For instance, you can change it to the following: Line In, Mic In, Headphones, Headset (with microphone), Speaker Out, Skullcandy Headphone, Dell Speaker Out, Skullcandy Headset.If you have 'Dell Audio' software on your laptop, you may get a box pop-up come up (if auto popup box is enabled), when you plug-in headphones (or speakers) into the laptop, that says 'Which device did you plug in?' This will give you the opportunity to change the device to: Line In, Mic In, Headphones, Speaker Out or set the Default Device.If you don't see the 'Which device did you plug in?' Pop-up box come up when you plug into the input jack, then do a search on your laptop for 'Dell Audio', and hopefully your Windows 10 Dell Laptop came with Dell Audio installed.
If so, click on Dell Audio found in Control panel.In the Dell Audio program, click on the Advanced tab, then in the sidebar click on Jack Information. Now click on the 'black dot' that looks like a Headphone jack, to bring up the 'Which device did you plug in?' Pop-up box.Now you can change the type of device you want your jack to recognize when it is plugged in.
