If you do not want speaker audio when using headphones set
CONFIG:SPRK+PH = OFF *AS DOCUMENTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL!*.

The K3 DSP has *one output* that feeds both the headphone amplifier
and the speaker amplifier.  There is no hardware to permit different
audio feeds to the headphone and speakers.
