Do you mean one combo jack for hp or ext mic ?

Do you mean hp auto mute speaker work ?


There are two [Pin complex] 0x1b and 0x1d which can be retasked as Input or
output

Node 0x1b [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400581: Stereo
  Pincap 0x00011334: IN OUT EAPD Detect


Node 0x1d [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400581: Stereo
  Pincap 0x00010034: IN OUT EAPD Detect



Does the user manual mention about  the speaker mute button or mic mute
button and thow the combo jack work  (e.g. auto detect hp or mic) ?
