@seb128 yes you are right. The explanation there makes a lot of sense - after some experimentation I found that the headset mic becomes available no matter whether I plugin a headphones or a headset, so it doesn't actually detect the presence of a microphone, it just happens that something is plugged in.
However, that issue also mentions: > Ubuntu solves this by popping up a GUI that asks what you plugged in. This seems like a sane thing to do in this situation. As I'm using Kubuntu and not Ubuntu, where should this feature be requested? For the time being, I added the two suggested sections to /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input-internal-mic.conf [Jack Headphone Mic] state.plugged = no state.unplugged = unknown [Jack Headset Mic] state.plugged = no state.unplugged = unknown This works beautifully. But now, indeed, when I plug in a regular headset without a microphone it will still switch making me effectively muted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876056 Title: No automatic switch to headset microphone on connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1876056/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
