Same issue as #17, when I connect my headphone with combo jack (works great with other devices) to laptop with ubuntu 16.04.

In PulseAudio volume control gui, in 'Input devices' tab, it shows that internal microphone is 'unplugged' and microphone (external, from combo headset) is 'plugged in'. But it does not work!

So as I find out that the combo headset clearly does not work due to lack of drivers, there should be a workaround to let users use the internal mic instead.

PS: This issue has been for 5 long year (see #1 above), somebody please do something. If we have commonplace headset with combo jack and and recent laptops with combo port, we evidently can't use ubuntu for video chatting. That's quite a downfall.
