Public bug reported: I have a set of headphones that work as speakers and microphone without problem on an android phone or on macos. Under ubuntu they are only detected as outputs, but not as microphone. in the audio settings I can select the output to be one of: internal speakers, hdmi monitor, or these headphones. The only input is the internal microphone of the laptop. When I make a call with microsoft teams, the other end confirms that they hear the sound from the room.
The headphones are similar to these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Earphones- Handsfree-Headphones-for-Samsung- Galaxy-S8-A5-A7-A8-A9-J1-J3-J5-J7-UK/163465454907 with a connector with four segments. I also tried another set of headphones, different brand, same behaviour: work fine in other devices, work as output-only in ubuntu ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: pulseaudio 1:13.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-23.25-generic 5.3.7 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: peter 1577 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: peter 1577 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Dec 9 11:00:07 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-11-14 (24 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/22/2019 dmi.bios.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.bios.version: 187.0.0.0.0 dmi.board.name: Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 dmi.board.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.board.version: MacBookPro12,1 dmi.chassis.type: 9 dmi.chassis.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.version: Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAppleInc.:bvr187.0.0.0.0:bd07/22/2019:svnAppleInc.:pnMacBookPro12,1:pvr1.0:rvnAppleInc.:rnMac-E43C1C25D4880AD6:rvrMacBookPro12,1:cvnAppleInc.:ct9:cvrMac-E43C1C25D4880AD6: dmi.product.family: MacBook Pro dmi.product.name: MacBookPro12,1 dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: Apple Inc. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug eoan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1855693 Title: microphone of the headset is not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1855693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
