[Bug 1869819] Re: [SRU] System can't detect external headset in the codec of Conexant

[Sebastien Bacher]

Could you rework the debdiff for bionic to use debian/patches and have a
shorter debian/changelog description? The changelog should be a summary
that the users will see for the update, the technical details can go to
the patch header itself

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In some hp's devices, there are two audio jacks(one headset and one headphone) in the audio interface which is using the codec of Conexant, and apparently it's not working, the system can't detect the headset in current codec.

  [Test Case]
  1. Insert 4 rings(3 stripes) headset into front audio port (headset icon)
  2. Check System Setting->Sound->Output

  [Expected result]
  Can detect external headset

  [Actual result]
  Only shows internal speaker.
  External headset microphone was detected.
  Another front audio port (earphone icon) works fine.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low.

  [Failure rate]
  100%
