Hi, To anyone experiencing this issue, you're supposed to actively go into the sound settings and telling the system you plugged a microphone in - on the input tab, there should now be a "Microphone" or "Headset Microphone" option that must be selected to activate the mic. Also make sure "Headphones" are not selected.
If you do that, and it still does not work, can you attach alsa-info and "pacmd list" output? ** Changed in: oem-priority Status: In Progress => Incomplete ** Changed in: oem-priority/precise Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771150 Title: [Feature] support the external headphone/microphone jack sensing Status in OEM Priority Project: Incomplete Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: Incomplete Status in OEM Priority Project quantal series: Incomplete Status in PulseAudio sound server: New Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The eeepc has a combined hole shared by the external microphone and headphone.
