When you try it in Windows, does it automatically distinguish between a
headphone and headset, or is there some sort of "what did you plugin"
dialog where you choose manually?

One more thing to try w r t the headset mic. In my ppa there is a
package called snd-hda-tools. Install that package and then, with your
headset mic plugged in, try executing this command:

sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 0x18 SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x22

...does that give a difference w r t the headset mic? If it does not,
also try:

sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 0x18 SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x21

...and see if it gives a difference.

The last number translates as follows:
0x20 - Hi Z
0x21 - 50%
0x22 - Ground
0x24 - 80%
0x25 - 100%

Where 80% is the default, and 50% is common too, but as Raymond noticed
some VAIOs use ground as vref. HiZ is used for line (not mic) inputs and
100% I've never seen anywhere.
