My apology for the confusion. I did the right thing and wrote it wrong. > 0x18 is for input switching, 0x21 is for output switching.

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. > Anyway, let's guess that the high pitched sound, as well as the lack of > headset microphone input, is because your headset is OMTP and that the > Vaio only supports CTIA.

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 <http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/13/09/28/1955211/eu-committee-votes-to-make-all-smartphone-vendors-utilize-a-standard-charger> Thanks again for helping me configure my notebook properly.
