Wow! I had no idea that you could almost invisibly disable a playback device in Windows as a non-admin user!

 

Right click over speaker > Sounds > Playback tab

 

See all playback devices e.g. headphones and HDMI screen.

 

Disable HDMI device.

 

From that point onwards only the headphones will appear in the usual selector above the volume level and you would need to reverse the above procedure to fix.

 

No way to lock it down AFAIK.
