This problem has come up on the list a number of times before and
involving a number of different Thinkpad models. As Birger Petterson

As a temporary measure, you might find that pulling the mic out just
a little bit from the jack will fix the problem. However, it's been
my experience that the "ThinkPad Adapter Converter" is the right
solution in the long run.
