I have never used the headphone in Windows.  It seems to recognize the
headset automatically, but I have to manually switch which microphone
(internal or headset) to use in some obscure hidden area of the control
panel.  I find Windows generally irritating, but if you want me to do
some diagnostic there, let me know and I'll find a moment to reboot and
to inflict the pain on my notebook (which runs much quieter and cooler
in Xubuntu).

Thank you for updating your PPA to support Saucy.

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diwic/hda
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install snd-hda-tools

Tried all the range:

Did not notice any difference between those two settings.  I had to pull
up the pavucontrol sliders to 120% to see some noise in the indicator
bar.  I could not hear my voice, not even when screaming at the
microphone, but I could hear my tapping on the microphone.

Silence/noise.
