I won't buy anything with combo!!! (except hamburgers) Hi, Before you give up on the Lenovo, I'd like to mention that I have a Thinkpad, T410, with a single audio connector. It can take a regular 1/8" connector for stereo headphones, but can also take a special pin with four conductors instead of three. There are headsets using this single connector for mic and audio. I put in a splitter, and was able to get sound from a microphone, and output sound in the headphones. The audio chipset, according to lspci, is as follows: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) Hope this helps, Joel > On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 2:48 PM, Djého Youn <ydjeho@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > on this german shop, they say it has NOT combo jack...I'm confused now... > > I defnitely don't want a combo jack. > > and this reports under 12.10 and 12.04 is regarding combo jack or just > > general output? > > > > > > > > On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 2:43 PM, michael noble <looplog@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > >> > >> On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 10:13 PM, Djého Youn <ydjeho@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> > >>> what the hell do they mean by 'software settings'??? > >> > >> > >> not sure about software settings, but from the English Lenovo site it > >> looks like it has a combo jack, which combines the mic and headphone into a > >> single jack.
