This is for pulseaudio bionic:

[Impact]
On a Dell machine without internal spk and internal mic, after freshly
install the bionic on it, the active profile is Off, after users plug a
headset to it and users select the headset from the pop-up dialogue,
users expect the profile changes to analog-stereo (headset is on it),
but the active_profile is still Off.

[Fix]
Upstream already has a patch to fix it, cherrypiack that patch to bionic.
And that patch is already in the eoan, focal, ...

[Test Case]
freshly install the bionic with this patch on that dell machine,
plug headset and select the headset from UI, the profile changes to
analog-stereo, and play some sound, we could hear it from the headset

[Regression Risk]
Low, this patch is already in the upstream for a long time, and it is
already in the eoan and focal.



For linux kernel (oem-b):

[Impact]
On a Dell machine without internal spk and internal mic, after freshly
install the bionic on it, and users plug a headset, the sound couldn't
output from headset.

[Fix]
reverse the order of headset mic and headphone mic

[Test Case]
freshly install the bionic with this patch on that dell machine,
plug headset and play sound, we could hear the sound from headset.

[Regression Risk]
Low, this patch only affects the machine without internal mic and
internal spk, and I already tested this patch on the machine without
internal mic and internal spk, it worked well.

target machine does not have built-in speaker, and the monitor does not
have an audio output (like d-sub VGA)

As first boot, there will be a "dummy output" in g-c-c.

After plug-in headset, there will be a headset appear in g-c-c, but it
won't be automatically selected even it's chosen in the pop-up window.
