Why is my mobile's headset not detected properly on my laptop's combined mic/headphone input?

  • 772

I'm using an HP EliteBook 9470m. It has one single combined input jack for microphone and headphone. I get clear nice sound with headphones missing a microphone, i.e headphones with only a three contact jack as shown on the right in the picture below.

When I use my phones headset (four contact connector on the left in the picture below), I get somewhat weak sound. I have to keep pressing the headset's button to get full sound quality.

Audio jacks

I assume Ubuntu does not auto-detect the kind of jack that is plugged in. How do I get Ubuntu to recognize my mobile's headset?

  1. This clearly have to do with pulseaudio package indeed.
