[Solved]Thinkpad X220 German Keyboard - few media keys doesn't work

I have Thinkpad X220 with german keyboard(I use polish layout, but changing layout doesn't matter). When I press Mic Mute or Thinkvantage button, they do nothing(they worked before on the same system, no changes except updates). There is no info about them in xev, xbindkeys -mk and acpi_listen.

no changes except updates

Which packages were updated?

Have you tried downgrading them?

Check your firmware (BIOS) menus for options relating to the function keys.

No changes have been done to bios too. I rarely look at which packages get upgraded, I just upgrade them (call me stupid, I am just lazy).

I'm not even looking at that output, what do you take me for?

Look at /var/log/pacman.log and downgrade any upgraded packages one by one until you find the one responsible.
