Headphone vs. Speaker output on newer MBPs

My old MacBook Pro (2011, 15" quad-core i7, 16G RAM ) was a fine old machine. One of the things I loved was, if I was not plugged into my interface and sound was coming out of the on-board speakers, I could just plug headphones into the MBP's headphone jack and after a couple seconds of recognition, it would switch over to headphones.

I upgraded to a new MBP (2019, 16" octa-core i9, 16G RAM) is certainly a formidable beast, an upgrade in almost every way. But now if I'm listening through the MBP's speakers and want to hear it through headphones, I need to rerun "Configure Hardware Driver" and wait for the project to reload from scratch.

I assume this is a difference in the MacOS? Is there a way to get it work the old way?

Thanks,
