Normal behaviour for PC's since... forever. The idea is to disconnect the speakers when a headphone is detected in the front audio - pretty much what everyone would want to happen.

I'm a semi pro DJ, I assure you I don't want my speakers turning on/off when I connect/disconnect my headphones.

 

I do acknowledge that I'm probably in the minority though.
