Mute speaker and microphone on Alienware m16 R1 AMD

Hi

I am running arch on a Alienware m16 R1 AMD. The volume increase and decrease buttons work, but the keyboard buttons to mute the speaker and mic do not. I tested with wev to see if it registers the key press. It does for the volume increase/decrease but not the other two.

I then ran acpi_listen. I pressed volume up, mute speaker, mute mike. This was the output

# acpi_listen 
button/volumeup VOLUP 00000080 00000000 K
 9DBB5994-A997- 000000d0 00000000
 9DBB5994-A997- 000000d0 00000000

As you can see, i get the same for both mute of the speaker and the mic. Any idea how to go from here? I already did a bios update to the latest version.
