(Get the code!)
Okay, so given the icon, that increases the likelyhood if this being an either/or jack, which is also what the kernel says. I e, it's a 3-pin only jack, but you can plug either a headphone or a mic, but not the headset combo.
As Anthony says, we probably have better support for this in Quantal. This is how it's supposed to work in Quantal:
When you plug something in, both the "Mic" and the "Headphone" option appears in the sound settings. If you plugged in a headphone, you go to the output tab and select "Headphone", on the input tab select "Internal Mic".
If you plugged in a mic, you go to the output tab and select "Speakers", on the input tab select "Headphone Mic" (or possibly just "Microphone", don't remember).
If this is a cert blocker for 12.04; I need to SRU this functionality into 12.04. But I don't want to do that before I have got actual verification that the above is how it actually works in 12.10, and that it all works correctly. I can't do that, because I haven't got any hardware. Can you do it for me?
