Why do I have to select 'speakers' rather than 'Realtek Digital Output'?

I have a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-50X's with a Maximus VII Hero and when plugged into the back of the motherboard I only get sound through the headphones when selecting 'speakers' in the Window's playback settings.

But how does this work because there is nothing to convert the digital signal to analogue signal..? And in what scenario would you select 'Realtek Digital Output'?

I don't like 2D games...I just couldn't get into them.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Pretty much. Doesn't get much simpler than that...
