Mute LED not staying lit Print Screen key not working

Hello everyone,

I have run into a bug starting with kernel 3.16.X where the mute key LED does not stay lit even though all sound is muted.  I have tried turning the LED on/off with

xset led named 'Mute' off

and nothing happens. Using xset -q shows that the led is off/on but it does not actually do anything.  I have also run into this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1295994

I am not sure how to fix that bug either.

KeyPress event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x7600001,
    root 0x90, subw 0x0, time 1627839, (401,373), root:(1849,397),
    state 0x0, keycode 218 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 107
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x7600001,
    root 0x90, subw 0x0, time 1627968, (401,373), root:(1849,397),
    state 0x0, keycode 218 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 107
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I am thinking that the two issues are related at the kernel level but don't have any proof.
Could someone help me out please?

The numpad has stopped working too!!!! I really need some help with this.

*Reboot fixed this but not the mute or print screen issues

 This is the correct syntax for xset:

xset led named 'Mute' # to turn the led on
xset -led named 'Mute' # to turn the led off
xset led 8 # on
xset -led 8 # off

xset -led named 'Mute' # to turn the led off
xset led 8 # on
xset -led 8 # off

That doesn't work.

 I did not state it will solve your problem, I stated this is the correct syntax. Yours does not work.
