Hello,
I'm trying to get a wired headset with a mic working on MacBookAir running v3.0 (3.0.0-13-generic from Ubuntu to be precise.)
It has Intel HDA audio[1] and everything works fine, including the built-in mic. The only think I can't seem to get working is a headset w/mic.
I know the HW for dynamic detect works because the mic is detected dynamically under OSX. Is there some setting I need to tweak in order to enable the automatic mic detection?
Thanks for any pointers,
Hi Kevin,
You can try upgrading your alsa version to the daily snapshot using this method: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS
Hi David,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried the latest version but the headset mic still doesn't work. Are there any particular settings I should be configuring to make this work?
Note that the jack detect is working for the output. When I plug in the headset, it switches the playback from the speakers to the headset automatically, and I see the 'Connector' drop down in the output tab of the Sound settings switch between "Analog headpohones' and 'Analog speakers."
It seems there's still a problem detecting that the headset also has a mic.
