I could test this problem with 4.0 kernel, but I'm on 14.04, and there is no 4.0 kernel for this version. Will http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.0-rc5-vivid/ even work?
** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Combo jack (headphones and microphone) working only as headphone output. Microphone is not detected at all when plugged-in. My exact laptop model is: Dell XPS 15 9530. I'm on 14.04 LTS, but I dont think its version-related. What more informations shall I collect and post here? I have also sent a report via http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh. Would it help if I include one here? $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 + --- + ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC1: bartek 2296 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: bartek 2296 F.... pulseaudio + CurrentDesktop: GNOME + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 + EcryptfsInUse: Yes + InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-08-19 (218 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) + MachineType: Dell Inc.
