Every time I plug in headphones, this pops onto my screen:

unknown audio device

I will never, for the rest of my life, use a headset. I have no interest in this option.

Clicking Sound Settings does not provide the opportunity to use headphones as the default until the end of time (or any amount of time).

How might I prevent this pop up from appearing?

If you are using new versions of Ubuntu, check out this Answer How to disable "Select Audio Device" pop-up on Ubuntu 18.04

I'm not sure if it works on Ubuntu 16.
