> If you're suffering from one of the following problems:

> ==== SRU Justification ===
> [Impact]
> Several laptops (see above list) are missing mostly internal mics, but
> sometimes also speakers in the Sound Settings / PulseAudio. This leads to
> an inability to control volume for these devices, and often not being able
> to use them at all.
>
> [Development Fix]
> Fixed by 0621-Add-special-profiles-for-some-laptops-missing-speake.patch
> which adds quirks for the above devices, telling them to manually add
> "speakers" and "internal mic" even though we can't detect them. Fix
> released in
> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:1.1-0ubuntu16
>
> (A fix for the generic problem needs to be coordinated with ALSA and
> PulseAudio upstreams but I need to start that work soon to make sure
> we have a more permanent fix in Quantal later on.)
>
> [Stable Fix]
> Same fix as for development release.
>
> [Test Case]
> * Have an affected machine
> * Notice that when your mic is unplugged, the "internal mic" is correctly
> shown in the sound settings
>
> [Regression Potential]
> The proposed quirk-style fix only affects the machines above.

> As you can see there →

> The audio Settings doesn't let me change the mode.
> Sometime the system sets the mode to »Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output« but

> If I plug in and out my headphones the system changes the mode to
