..uh...what do you think I do every day...many onboard soundcards allow you to separate front panel from rear as devices, so you plug headphones in front panel, speakers in the rear plugs, and TS run on front panel plugs.

You just need to get open-ear cans, not sound isolating ones. Then when you want to play in quiet, push all sound through the cans.
