I have read every thread I can find and tried everything I can think of. I've spent most of the afternoon trying to fix this, to no avail. Since they're both being treated as a single device, they share settings - Windows still treats it as 5.1 speakers when the audio is going out of the headset, they cannot have different volumes, etc. When I unplug the headset's audio jack, audio comes through the speakers once more. Problem is, when I plug my headset into the front jacks, it no longer appears as a separate playback device - the "speakers" device just starts outputting to the headset. The rear panel only has 3 audio jacks (green, blue, pink) but looking at the manual I was able to figure out how to connect the 5.1 plugs correctly and they work as expected. I've just switched to a computer running an Asus Z170M-PLUS mobo, with ALC887 audio. I was able to switch between them via the speaker/volume icon in the task bar, the speakers were recognised as 5.1 and the headphones were recognised as headphones, they had their own settings, etc. On my previous computer ( Asus Z87-C mobo, with ALC892 audio), I was able to have my 5.1 speaker setup connected to the rear panel (using the dedicated green/orange/black plugs) and my headset (analog audio and mic) connected to the front jacks, and Windows 10 / the Realtek HD Audio driver would treat them as separate playback devices. I've linked to relevant pics/manuals to make things easier. I've really run out of ideas for this issue.
