Automatically adjust volume for audio jack vs. built in speakers?
Is there a setting to have my Windows 10 laptop automatically remember my volume settings when I plug in or unplug a device (speakers or headphones) into the 1/8" audio jack?
For instance, if I plug in my headphones I would like it to revert the volume to whatever it was last time the headphones (or anything else) were plugged in; and when I unplug them I want it to switch to whatever it was before I plugged them in.
I have a Surface 3 which does exactly what I want, but my new Lenovo laptop doesn't. Where can I turn this feature on?
Notes:
I have looked at this question, and it is asking basically the exact same thing, but it is also 5 years old and for Windows 7 and that answer doesn't seem to be applicable to Windows 10.
I am not concerned about differentiating between different speakers or between speakers and headphones or anything like that, I just want it to remember one volume for the built-in speakers and one for anything plugged into the audio jack.

I believe if the headphone Jack and the inbuilt speakers use different sound devices in windows, it will automatically remember the volume it was at last time it was used. (I know my several audio devices do on Windows 10).
It is essentially the same as the linked Windows 7 question that you put in the notes, in that if windows uses the same audio device for both, then you cannot do it.
Third party solution: get USB headphones, and it will remember the setting when you plug them in.

I was able to figure out a solution based on the response to this question here:
I found another simple solution for this. If you have installed the Realtek software, open the Realtek HD Audio Manager , and check the " Disable front panel jack detection" option, under connector settings in the right side panel. The headphones and other audio devices work like a charm.
Although, when I went to the Realtek HD audio manager I had to click on "Device advanced settings" and then change the audio detector to "Multi-stream mode". That instantly separated the audio outputs for me.
