I have a strange problem with headphones - when I plug them in I can hear in them, apart from normal sounds like music, everything microphone collects. And by everything I mean everything.... i hear every tap on the touchpad... I hear how HDD works. It is pretty anoying. My laptop is Samsung R580, I'm using 10.10 with 2.6.36-28 kernel. If U need any more info just ask. Thx for any help!

P.S. this may be connected with another unresolved problem I have: Squeak after lid close

P.P.S. sometimes without without headphones when I tap the microphone I hear the "tap" in the speakers

Try disabling the microphone in the Profile for your sound device. This can be done by entering the sound preferences and in the "Hardware" Tab, choose the profile that better adjusts to your sound device.

enter image description here

In this example my screenshot is showing several profiles but my Internal Audio device only supports those "Analog Surround 4.0 Output + Analog Stereo Input".

In the same example as my device shown in the screenshot, if I choose the Analog Surround 4.0 Output with no Analog Stereo Input, I get the Microphone silent.

Give a try and let's see what happens.

You can change your preferences each time when you need the microphone turned on for video-conferencing, voice recording or something else.

Good luck!
