Question Is headphone socket on Asus Zenbook UX330UA also a mic socket?

[itm]

The built-in mic hardware on my Asus Zenbook UX330UA seems to have died (I've tried it on Linux and Windows, to check that it wasn't a driver issue), so I was thinking of trying a headset/mic, plugged into the headphone socket. Does anyone know if the socket supports a mic as well as headphones?
Obviously if the audio card is the problem then it won't work anyway, but I thought it might be worth trying on the off chance that it's the connection between the mic and the audio card that's the problem.

If it's a single connector likely.

Can also look for a usb microphone if you have a usb connector empty.
