@rcassini - that is what the modification I suggested also does. To get back towards Pulsaaudio though, I did pay more attention to differen platforms. It occured to my that Mac OS also isn't capable of detecting what type of jack is plugged in, but still manages to make a decent automatic choice.
I noticed that: - When I plug in headphones, it uses the internal mic -> OK - When I plug a simple headset, it switches to headset mic -> OK - When I plug in a more advanced headset with mute control that is unmuted, it still switches to headset mic -> OK - When I plug in this same headset with the mic muted, it remains on internal mic -> questionable, but makes sense. When I then unmute, it still switches to headset mic. So it seems to actually poll the wires for a signal, and if any input that looks like a mic is coming through, it switches. So when it's muted, no signal comes through and it assumes it's a headset. Simple and clever, and usually what you want. The main drawback is that this may lead to a situation where you think you're muted but you're actually not muted because it uses the internal mic which isn't muted. Still, something that I'd like to see implemented in Pulseaudio as well! -- 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
