Ubuntu 20.10 on ThinkPad T14 (AMD). Microphone mute LED always stays on. How can I fix it or turn it off?
I can mute and unmute the microphone just fine, but the white light on the mic mute button (F4) is on at all times. How can I make it respond to the muted/unmuted state of the microphone, or even just turn it off completely? It's very bright.
