Fixed it using this bug report: #1331915
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1331915.

Basically:
1) Make sure there are no alsa daily builds installed on that laptop, including any oem-audio daily build packages.
2) modify the alsa-base.conf file (edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the line
“options snd-hda-intel model=,dell-headset-multi”), careful at the comma "," before dell
3) reboot
4) Plug in your headeset
5) you'll get the pop-up dialog confirming what you just plugged in.
6) Select headset

Quote about the comma: "That should get the mic going for you on that
machine. David told me that the comma is needed because HDMI audio
became the first sound card in the case of this laptop."

The hdajackretask software is a nice get-out-of-jail card, but couldn't
figure out the correct pin assignments myself (or maybe some more
settings were needed to get it working equivalently with the above alsa
setting).

Thank you for your time. On to solve the acpi setting for getting the
brightness keys to work :)

Title:
  [N550JV, Realtek ALC668, Black Mic, Left] No autoswitch

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I plug in the smartphone headset microphone and sound stop
  working. If I go to Pulseaudio Volume Control and I select Internal
  Microphone for input and Speakers for output the hedset works fine. If
  I remove the headset, the speakers and the microphone stop working
  again. I have to manually reset them again to make them working. This
  is really anoying, especially in Skype or Viber.
