Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 on a new MacBookAir6,2 with the Cirrus
Logic CS4208 and would love to get the microphone part of the TRRS
connector working. Mac OS picks up and utilizes the TRRS headset mic
without issue so I know the hardware is a go.

With the headset plugged in, running sudo hdajacksensetest -a results
in:

Pin 0x05 ( Digital Out, HDMI): present = No
Pin 0x06 ( Digital Out, HDMI): present = No
Pin 0x07 ( Digital Out, HDMI): present = No

AlsaInfo output here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cabc8cab44d308c8a3898c66d48d9be4fc5ccf83

I opened up hdajackretask to find four pins:
Green Headphone
Pin ID: 0x10
Headphone

Internal Speaker
Pin ID: 0x12
Internal speaker

Pink Mic
Pin ID: 0x18
Not connected

Internal Mic
Pin ID: 0x1c
Internal mic

Unplugging and replugging the headset changes the Output device in sound
settings from Headphones to Speakers so that works, but nothing in the
input tab ever changes. It always lists two devices: Internal Microphone
and Microphone. Both of these seem to actually be the internal
microphone in the mac - either works without the headset connected at
all.

So I'm not really sure how to proceed from here, but I'd be happy to run
whatever diagnostic tests might prove useful and/or even contribute code
toward a fix - but I just have no idea where to start. Is it as simple
as just finding the right pin and telling the system to use it as a
microphone?
