Hi, just chiming in to say I've encountered this behavior as well. When my headphones are plugged into the combo jack, the internal microphone is listed as 'unplugged'.
Current workaround is simply to unplug the headphones when I want to talk into the mic. -- 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).
