I have an Acer V5-571G with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. My problem is that the 4-pin jack doesnt work well. When i plug a headset with mic (4-pin) the mic isn't detected. I'd reported a bug in Ubuntu Community and they told me that i needed to ask here for help. This is the bug thread. The lastest message says this:

the realtek codec need vendor specific coeff to support headset Mic , you have to ask the Acer support forum.
