Comment 15 for bug 1297790

It's very annoying. The hardware detects whether or not there is a microphone present in the headset. If there isn't, I only have the one 3.5mm port, so it's not like I could attach one. I don't see any possible benefit to this feature, but creating a pile of little obnoxious dialog boxes is a very clear detriment, and it's the sort of thing Ubuntu normally avoids doing to avoid needlessly reducing new users' confidence in their system.
