1. There is no real benefit of 16.04, as it now has an older kernel (4.3) than is available for wily (4.4). It once had better Intel HD graphics support, but now the support has landed in 15.10. I'm now running Ubuntu 15.10 too.
2. I've already tried node 0x19 for the internal microphone, but it doesn't work (either I hear nothing or just plain white noise).
3. I'm not sure about the combined mic/headset jack. If they would have integrated one in this PC, why would there then be a separate microphone jack?
Raymond, I tested the internal mic using both sound recorder and cheese and tried the stereo channels separately and together (using pavucontrol) while going through the nodes in hdajackretask. You have a point with the phasing, I might go through the nodes again just to make sure, as I might have forgotten to try the channels separately on some nodes :)
