Ever thought if you could have listened to music on you headphones and your friends could watch movies on your phone simultaneously?
Step 1
Steps A
2nd option
Last notification. The exact position may vary according to the settings of the notification.

Here is the solution to your problem purely from Samsung
Step 1: Plug in your headset (connect via Bluetooth if it is Bluetooth one , it dosen't matter what method you use)
Now there are 2 different options.
A: If you want your phone speaker to have audio input for 1 source like YouTube and output from all other apps from your headphones only.
Step - For that there is a single step method which is actually created by Samsung
Settings>Sounds and vibration>Separate app sound (Available on Core devices)
When you connect your headphones to your phone then the main audio output is your headphone and not the speaker.
So now you can simply turn on this thing .
-- Then go to audio device
-- Then click on phone
-- Then go to app and choose the app that you want to get output from tour phone speaker.
And done
B - What if you want only 1 app to give output to your headphone?
You must be thinking that you can just select the audio device as your Bluetooth device or your aux headphone . But as those as the main output so you can not do that(just read on the 2nd screenshot above the turn on now button)
So now what to do?
Actually this is also solved by Samsung(Idk if this is the way they wanted it to be or its just that i found a way)
For this you need to have the Samsung SmartThings app and have the add ons downloaded or it might not work.
So
--Whether you plug any other output then SmartThings will show you a notification of audio output given that you have enabled the Audio Output notifications in the notifications settings of SmartThings as below
If you did all the things as I said then you will see a notification like this-
Now click on that notification. The notification will expand and look like this-
Just click on "this phone" and then it will be set as your main audio output.
So now all your audio will be played on the phone only and your headphone will just be connected .
--Now again go to the Separate app sound settings.
--But this time click on the Bluetooth device in the audio output options.
-- Now go to app options and select your app
Now the app you selected will only be playing on the headphone.
A little complex for normal people maybe but this works.
If you have any other better way or option about this then pls tell me also.
Bye👋
