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
