@welshpixie This used to be incredibly easy with ESD but in 2019 we can't have nice things. If you tell Pulse and Alsa both not to mute Line Out when headphones are plugged in, you can set their volumes independently. I got it to work once about a year ago by following this:

But it was such a PITA I gave up on it for my new laptop.

TLDR it takes configuring how both Pulse and Alsa handle the line out and headphones.
