Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T450s. This notebook has a combined headphones/mic "headset"-jack as used by pretty much every smartphone nowadays.
I have a Plantronics-Headset HW251/A - SupraPlus Monaural and a 4-pin 3,5mm jack cable, made for use with PCs. When connecting the headset to the notebook, I get audio but the mic is not recognized. In contrast, when I boot Windows 7 on the same machine, the headset (including mic) works fine. Moreover, the headset works fine connected to an Apple MacBook Air. In contrast, I also have an Apple Earphones-Headset which came with an iPhone, this also works with the ThinkPad under Ubuntu. By saying "not recognized", I mean that in the audio settings of Ubuntu, when plugging in the Plantronics headset, no audio input "microphone" comes up and the internal mic of the notebook is still used. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623804 Title: headset microphone is not recognized in headset-jack To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1623804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
