But with the current rule, the headset-mic/headphone-mic will not be selected automatically and even users manually select them, they will not show up in the gnome sound setting, and users could not record sound by headset-mic/headphone-mic. [Fix] backport a patch from pulseaudio mergerequest, the patch is going to be merged to pulseaudio 14.1. This patch could be backported to hirsute without any change, but need to be changed if backport it to groovy and focal. [Test] With the old pulseaudio (prior to 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.10), plugging in a headset to the problematic Dell AIO machine will not automatically select headset-mic/headphone-mic, and they also do not show up in Gnome sound settings, leading to failure to record any sound. With the new proposed package, on those Dell AIO, plug a headset, open the gnome sound setting, the headset-mic is selected automatically, use the headset-mic to record the sound, the sound could be recorded and the sound quality is good. [Where problems could occur] This patch could change the policy of audio device switching, it will not affect all audio devices, but only the devices which has AVAIL_UNKNOWN available status, that means it has possibility to introduce the regression on headphone-mic ,headset-mic, internal mic and internal speaker's switching since they all has AVAIL_UNKNOWN status. For example, after unpluging the headset, the input device will not switch to internal mic automatically or after unplug the headphone, the output device will not switch to internal speaker automatically. But this possibility is very low, we have tested the patch on many Dell and Lenovo machines, all worked well.
