Same issue as #17, when I connect my headphone with combo jack (works great with other devices) to laptop with ubuntu 16.04.
In PulseAudio volume control gui, in 'Input devices' tab, it shows that internal microphone is 'unplugged' and microphone (external, from combo headset) is 'plugged in'. But it does not work! So as I find out that the combo headset clearly does not work due to lack of drivers, there should be a workaround to let users use the internal mic instead. PS: This issue has been for 5 long year (see #1 above), somebody please do something. If we have commonplace headset with combo jack and and recent laptops with combo port, we evidently can't use ubuntu for video chatting. That's quite a downfall. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025388 Title: Internal mic stops working when plugging in headphones Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am currently running Quantal and when I plug headphones into my headphone socket (which has an icon of a headset next to it, so I presume it can take some kind of headset), the internal mic on my laptop stops working. If I unplug the headphones the internal mic works as normal. I tried this with two different sets of headphones (one of which has a mic, and the other I think has a mic too).
