How do you switch between Speakers and Headset?

Sound Blaster X3 has Super X-Fi Button. Press and hold to switch between Line-out (Speaker) and Headphones Output. When in Headphones mode, press once to enable / disable Super X-Fi.

Can you turn off the Center Speaker in the 5.1 speaker configuration menu? My system does not have one.

Yes you can, you need to set it to 5.1 and then open the windows sound control panel, and go through the steps and remove the center form there. After you do that, the sound blaster will make a phantom center channel so it sounds like voices etc come from your monitor. I run a 4.1 setup too

So if i connect this usb c-a to my windows 10 pc and optical to my LG home theater will it let me configure windows speaker config for 5.1?

Sound Blaster X3 once successfully installed on a supported system such as Windows 10, you can set the speaker configuration available from the settings. For more specific details, you may contact Creative Technical support directly.

Sound blaster x4 “also compatible with your blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and even tv.” connected tv cannot get audio, how does this work?

make sure it is in the correct mode and your tv is outputing to the correct plug.
