Public bug reported: The mic works well with Ubuntu 12.04 but not with newer versions. I've try with 14.04, 16.04 and 17.04. I've try to compile last alsa-lib (1.1.4.1), alsa-tools (1.1.3) and also-utils (1.1.4) versions but mic doesn't works with them. Mic is correctly discovered by system (When I plug the jack it appears in System Sound GUI), but it doesn't record anything.
