My laptop is Acer Aspire E1-572G, and i have the same problem. Im using Razer Kraken Pro headsets and its as if the headset microphone didnt exist, its essentialy used as headphones. The Sound settings show Microphone(built-in audio) and Analog Input(built-in audio), both recording the same thing, and nothing changes when the headset is plugged in. I have windows-ubuntu dual boot, and the headset works well on windowsI. I can acess both internal and external microphone, and it changes automaticly for most applications.
Following some answers on the web i tried adding options to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, but it didnt work. I used the options described on this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/75828/external-microphone-not-working?rq=1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359803 Title: External mic not being used in combo port To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1359803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
