> GET_PIN_SENSE for 0x19 is 0x80000000 when headset with mic is plugged
into dock.

speaker cable.

be true).

Are you using the same dock station as Nicolas?

It seem this dock station has only 1x Stereo/Mic Combo Audio Port

Do you mean when headset is plugged, both node 0x16 and node 0x19 can
detect the Jack state which is not different from those dock station which
have headphone Jack and Mic jack ?

Do this dock combo jack not support conventional Mic  similar to the
notebook combo Jack ?

Do you need to differentiate these two kind of dock stations if your ultra
dock cannot support conventional Mic ?

Dock Mic and dock headset mic

Connect headphones or a headset that has a 3.5-mm (0.14-inch), 4-pole plug
to the audio connector to listen to the sound from the computer.

Notes:
• If you are using a headset with a function switch, for example, a headset
for an iPhone mobile digital device, do not press this switch while using
the headset. If you press the switch, the headset microphone will be
disabled, and the integrated microphones on the computer will be enabled
instead.

The audio connector does not support a conventional microphone.

config.
> It took a while to find out that not all changes are immediate (early
patching and restart required).
>
> Using the early patching values from above, the sound is being redirected
from the internal speakers to the dock jack, when headphones are connected.
> [When connecting an additional speaker to the left jack on the notebook,
the sound is output to both dock and notebook jack.]
> When connecting a mic to dock, the dock mic shows up as input and is used
as such.
> When only connecting a headset without mic, the internal mic stays
functional.
