So up until Yesterday, my headphones were plugged to my front panel jack (split as input jack and output jack), and everything worked as intended.
Today, after having done a system update (yesterday really), I get no sound from the mic when I plug it to the front panel.
After investigating, this is what I found out :

Part of profile(s): output:analog-stereo, output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo"Microphone" is the back panel microphone jack. It works, but that's irrelevant to my problem.
EDIT: Now that I think about this, it should be "Line in", since "Line out" is the back panel output jack
"Headphones" is the front panel headphone jack. Give sound, works as intended
"Headphones 2" is the front panel microphone jack. Did not exist yesterday, give sound when i plug a speaker to it, but does not work as a microphone.
Can somebody help me figure out how this came to be? (and of course how to correct this situation)
Many thanks.
