headset microphone not found after update to 17.04

by

I have a headset with a 3,5″ plug, with integrated microphone. Picture of the cable and headset.
It always used to work just fine. After the update to 17.04 it doesn’t work anymore.

So I check the sound settings. And on input there is only one “connector”
enter image description here

On the output tab it shows 2 connectors. Speakers and Headphones

The laptop is a Asus VivoBook Pro N552VX-FY166T

What Went wrong, where do I look?

Answer

I managed to get it working following this :
I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and added the line “options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi”. (A few instead need “options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-dock”, but it’s not that common.) Rebooted the computer and bingo !
