First, you talk about your Headphones working on one computer but
not another. Then you talk about the Mike jack that has a 3 pin jack on it.

Please tell us what is not working. I assume the thing your using is
a compination earphone-mike like I have, and it has two plugs, one for
earphone one for mike.

Now what is wrong?

yes, you are right, has two plus like you say.

Mic in other PC works fine. Other Mic in other PC also works fine.

Mic in Dell Laptop with Kubuntu does not work.
Headphone plugged into Mic socket on Dell Laptop with Kubuntu does
work as a mic.

So I think there is a configuration of my Dell Laptop Mic port that
has a problem.. as speaker can be used as Mic in the port..

Thanks for your help
Jon
