Hello. When the Realtek audio driver is installed, there is no separate listing for speakers and headphones. The listing for "Speakers" is for both.
When "Speakers" is the default playback device, audio goes to the speakers unless there is a plug in the headphone jack, and then it goes to the headphone jack. That's just the way Realtek does it on Dell laptops.
Hello. My own laptop (Latitude E5420) does not have the MaxxAudio feature, so I can't answer that question.
What is the problem you are having? Is MaxxSpace grayed out or something? Not all versions of MaxxAudio have all of the possible features. Some features might not in Windows 10, which treats audio differently from other Windows.

Yes, MaxxSpace grayed out and when you hover it said "MaxxSpace is available for headphone output only"
