You have been subscribed to a public bug: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T450s. This notebook has a combined headphones/mic "headset"-jack as used by pretty much every smartphone nowadays.
I have a Plantronics-Headset HW251/A - SupraPlus Monaural and a 4-pin 3,5mm jack cable, made for use with PCs. When connecting the headset to the notebook, I get audio but the mic is not recognized. In contrast, when I boot Windows 7 on the same machine, the headset (including mic) works fine. Moreover, the headset works fine connected to an Apple MacBook Air. In contrast, I also have an Apple Earphones-Headset which came with an iPhone, this also works with the ThinkPad under Ubuntu. By saying "not recognized", I mean that in the audio settings of Ubuntu, when plugging in the Plantronics headset, no audio input "microphone" comes up and the internal mic of the notebook is still used. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment kernel-sound -- headset microphone is not recognized in headset-jack https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
