It seems complex.
I stopped reading at luisbocanegra/linux-guide-split-audio-ports/blob/7cf2026f609e488d2c3e11ac8e18ef3403ed8429/README.md#requirements (included).
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-enable-multiple-simultaneous-audio-outputs-on-pulseaudio-in-linux seems to be for the same audio.
Google search Linux play 2 different audios on laptop speaker and jack earphone.

Switching to Speaker only emits a sound on speakers for about 0.1s.

Output:
Even if I enabled back Auto-Mute, unplugging jack (by mistake) results in playing loudly the audio on speakers which is unwanted.
DuckDuckGo search Linux mute speaker when unplug earphone.
The Ask Ubuntu answer 542147 let me think that Auto-Mute should maybe be configured both with and without earphones, but it does not seem to help.
Well as volume for both setups is different and kept on each setup type, I am fine with that for the moment.

If earphone plugged:
It correctly plays in earphone and speaker at the same time, but as the earphone is closer even with a single earphone it seems that the speaker does not play, but it does.
Can't control both volumes.
If earphone unplugged:
Replugging does not require additional work, but maybe there an audio spike for a second in earphone.
OBS audio volume seems to show that still able to leverage earphone microphone or laptop one, but maybe only if unmute laptop one.

I had to proceed again to luisbocanegra/linux-guide-split-audio-ports/blob/7cf2026f609e488d2c3e11ac8e18ef3403ed8429/README.md?plain=1#L709 on my Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon Framework 13, otherwise I can't select the output in Playback.
It was set to either:
To avoid silencing speakers, do not use Sound to change the jack volume, use Output Devices.
Unclear how to avoid this volume change sound effect while all Sounds are disabled.
Now that I don't want the split anymore to avoid default to wrong sound output, I switch back to Headphones Output + Microphone Input.
