I have an ASUS K56CM dual booting Windows and Manjaro XFCE. My headset is detected in Windows and works like a charm, but on Manjaro, Pulseaudio only detects that it is an output device, and doesnt detect the microphone. My 3.5mm port is a combined in/out.
Check that Fast Startup (hybrid hibernation) is turned off in the other OS

Manjaro might be unable to initialise audio codec correctly from hybrid hibernation state
If that is not an issue, please post system information

Edit: Windows Hibernation isnāt the problem, I had that problem before if you look at my history, youāll see Iāve fixed that.
@nikgnomic if you could reply faster that would be great. (Sorry for rushing you, but I cannot find any solution anywhere)
You should consider updating the BIOS on this laptop - K56CM - Support
This was a tricky one to track because the Linux hardware scan has data from 45 other systems
And the most recent ones that I checked all had ones I checked have the same issue as your system and only the internal microphone is detected in ALSA
But despite all the hardware scans, I could not find any posts on a Linux forum about the absent headset mic
No mention of this laptop model in Archwiki or a kernel bug report at Bugzilla
No results on websearches for Linux issues for codec ALC270 or VendorID ProductID [1043:1587]
No trace of another Manjaro user with this laptop model in this forum or archived forum
There are 2 mentions of ALC270 audio codec in the old forum but nothing relevant for this situation
Search results for āalc270ā - archived.forum.manjaro.org
Internal speakers and headphone outputs are detected in ALSA

One of those will be the missing microphone jack
I suggest you install package alsa-tools and use this command to check the audio jacks
sudo hdajacksensetest --card=0
Try this with the jack plugged in and unplugged to see if the jack detection is working

Well Hdajackretask detects my headphone jack as only an output device as seen in the connected picture.
If I canāt do anything but update the BIOS, itās a risk I am not willing to take.
Also hereās the terminal output, top is with headset plugged in, bottom without, same thing, only detects the jack as a output jack.
Oh, I just double checked the unconnected pins and found the one that lets me use my headset mic now. Thanks for the help, turns out Iām just blind as I have checked the unconnected pins while waiting for your replies.

Could you please confirm which pin you needed to retask to get the microphone working
It may be helpful to another user with similar hardware
I had to retask the 0x18 pin and set it to āMicrophoneā.
