Description Bastien Nocera 2015-11-20 16:41:01 UTC

In GNOME, we do not show the profiles of input sources, and the microphone from a "headset" (Marshall Headphones with a microphone) show up as:
Microphone - Builtin Audio

I thought this was the microphone internal to the laptop. The internal microphone would actually be called "Internal Microphone - Builtin Audio".

I would have expected to see a different icon (showing an external microphone), and a name that conveyed that the microphone isn't in the laptop itself.
