Hi,
My son has a T430, and a headphone set with a built-in microphone. This
uses the 4-connector 1/8-inch jack. I believe that he uses it for
teleconferencing, listening and speaking. I think that is at least one
of the use-cases intended for the combo jack. He runs Fedora18. You
might ask a Lenovo representative if this is the way the plug should
work. They sold the T430 to him with SuSE installed on it, so they
should not be too offended if you ask about Linux support. You are a
prospective sales opportunity to them, after all.

oh yes, maybe you're right.
although they say it's not combo ((These connections can be used
depending
on
the software setting): 1 x Microphone, 1 x

picture of
the same website I see only one jack
'hole'.
so, maybe the 'software setting' means exactly that.
funny, because on the other models which has combo jack, they just
say
it's
combo jack.
anyway, good point. 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
