How to get audio mute LED (F6 button) working on HP laptop

gius01 · 2021-12-24 11:45:35

Hi, I'm quite new in the Arch Linux world, and I have installed successfully it on my HP 15-db0055nl laptop, even with KDE Plasma which I'm slowly configuring along with my preferences. Anyway, I noticed a problem: the mute audio LED, on the F6 button (which I use to turn on and off the speakers correctly) is not working. I tried the ArchWiki guide to enable it through modprobe, but I still can't get this working, but the caps lock LED works correctly without any problem. Can we help me? Thank you in advance!

The key itself works, it's only about the LED reflecting the mute status?
Does any of this toggle it?

for ((i=1;i<33;++i)); do echo "Testing $i..."; xset led $i; sleep 2; xset -led $i; done

Yes, the key works, the LED no. I tried that code, and the LED doesn't turn on...

Seems an ongoing issue, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195827 has some suggestions to control the GPIO

I tried to turn on the GPIOs as described in that post, but the LED still doesn't turn on, is that anything else I could try?

Did you also try passing "snd-hda-intel.model=mute-led-gpio" to the kernel?

I tried all the possible configurations that I found here https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ … xxx-models (my audio card is Realtek ALC236) and it changed nothing...
