My apology for the confusion.  I did the right thing and wrote it wrong.

Thank you for the helpful background information, "input switching" and
"output switching" is much easier to encode in my brain and it helps me
understand what I was doing.

I hope your guess is right.  I do not have another headset to test.

On my end, the major bug is solved:  after overriding input switching to
manual and selecting the internal microphone in pavucontrol I got a
working microphone input.  My son was happy to Skype with daddy who is
away on academic exchange until mid December.

My headset does not work, and it is probably because of the OMTP/CTIA
standard issue.  I do not need/use a headset and when I do I have a
bluetooth one.  Still, I wonder what is the manufacturer's rationale
behind multiple, incompatible and confusing (same plug!) headset
standards.  I can't think of anything else but a repeat of the abuse
that lead to

Thanks again for helping me configure my notebook properly.  This bug
report can be closed as fixed from my perspective.
