In the Hoster "Audio Controls" there is a dropdown which looks like it is trying to do the same thing, but the "Intel Display Audio" is the only option. Is there something driver or setup-wise I need to do to get Hoster to have the option to keep the audio at the headphone jack with the HDMI plugged in?

Hoster doesn't have that control. This is why most use the VGA out to a vga converter.
What you are referring to in Hoster is for setting which Audio card to use for which function if you have a system with multiple sound cards.
