[Bug 2122727] [NEW] Headset mic is not automatically used when plugged

 

Public bug reported:

When I plug my jack headset, it automatically switches to the jack output but keeps using the internal microphone for input.
If I use pavucontrol, I can switch the audio input to the headset microphone but I have to redo this every time I plug it.

I tried the same headset on another computer (running Linux Mint) and
there it automatically switches to the headset microphone.
