Public bug reported:

With my ASUS X550V laptop with the headset jack (combined headphone and
microphone 4-ring 3.5mm jack) and Ubuntu 14.04.1, microphone is not
detected when attached to the headset jack.

Sound output is working fine through the headset's headphones when connected (and in Sound Settings it will switch that one only output's name from Speakers to Headphones), but it doesn't catch any sound input from the headset's mic while you tap it or speak near it.
There are always 2 choices in Input even when the headset is not connected: "Microphone (Built-in Audio)" and "Analog Input (Built-in Audio)" shown as input devices, yet my laptop only has a single headset jack.

If you click on any of those 2 to be the chosen input sources they
always behave the same: they pickup sounds/taping/noise through the
integrated mic (a hole next to the webcam), disregarding if the headset
is connected or not.

So, you click "Microphone (Built-in Audio)" and tap next to the webcam -
Input levels jump, tap on headset's mic - Input levels don't move
(normal). You click "Analog Input (Built-in Audio)" and tap next to the
webcam - Input levels jump again (!), tap on headset's mic - Input
levels don't move (strange!).

I have tried with position_fix=1, model=headset-mic (for ALC270) and
with latest DKSM.
