Abstract
An information handling system (“IHS”) including a processor is provided. The IHS also includes an audio input device interface coupled to the processor. Moreover, the IHS includes a voltage regulator coupled to the interface for determining whether an audio input device is coupled to the interface. The voltage regulator also supplies power to the audio input device in response to determining that an audio input device is coupled to the interface.
