[Bug 1359803] [NEW] External mic not being used in combo port

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on my Asus 1015E that only has a combo audio port
which accepts smartphone type "headsets" (3.5mm TRRS headphones with mic
on the same wire).

Ubuntu does not deactivate the built-in mic when I connect my headset.
It doesn't even use the headset mic and instead keeps picking up audio
signal from the integrated microphone (that's on my laptop bezel).
