Is there anyway to stop this from happening? I find it really annoying that my volume on my Galaxy Note 2 keeps getting automatically turned down everytime I unplug my headphones or auxiliary input for my car. Is there a solution?
 
This might not be a solution, or even an understanding of the same problem, but the system uses two volume presets I guess you can call them. One for the speaker and one for auxiliary. When you plug in headphones you should notice the media volume shift to about 2/3 max volume. Now for me when I unplug that volume goes back to whatever it was before plugging in my headset.

Is that your issue?
 
I assume you're talking about it going down when you RE-PLUG your headphones/aux jack, right?
When you plug in your headphones, the volume you set before unplugging them is the value stored for when you plug them again. "Unfortunately" the system has some safety settings in place, and it won't let you 'store' a volume that's higher than the safety level it's been set (remember the cute little warning pop-up when you crank it up beyond about 3/4? That's the threshold). I guess if you root your phone you can change this threshold, but there's no way to do that with stock software.

BTW, Same thing applies to loudspeaker volume. The last level you have set before you plug in your headphones is the same level it'll return to when unplugging them.
