[Franko Burolo <franko.burolo@xxxxxxxxx>]

We don't understand each other, Raymond. I AM trying to use a headset (headphones + microphone) with a combo TRRS jack on a combo plug, but Ubuntu never switches to the mic when the headset is plugged, and just uses the laptop's integrated one instead.
I mentioned dell-headset-multi, because adding that option model was the only way I could see a headset and mic actually recognized. However, it still keeps the mic deaf, so there is no use of it for an end user.

I don't think I entirely understand you when you are talking about hex-
coded nodes and pins, I am just an end-user, so you will have to use
plain English with me. And I am not even a native English speaker, while
we are at it...

If you think my bug report is incomplete, I would like you to be so kind
to explain to me how to make it complete. I reported, because I would
really like to see this solved.

Thanks.

Title:
  [SATELLITE C50-B, Realtek ALC233, Mic, Internal] No autoswitch

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It is a Toshiba Satellite C50-B-15N to be precise. It has a single combo plug, and Ubuntu fails to switch to the headset microphone when a combo jack is plugged in.
  Sometimes even the output fails switching to phones, but it only happens very seldom, and after a reboot it works fine again. But the mic just never ever switches, only the laptop's built-in one is always working.

  I am using an up to date Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet with Unity and
  standard audio set-up. I haven't (yet) change anything audio-related.
  I have started this bug with apport, so I believe most of these
  details are reported there.

  Probably a different bug, but it could be related: The built-in mic is
  stereo, but only its left side is actually working, as a normal
  single-channel mic. The right side is deaf.

  Let me know if you need other info.

  Thanks!
