[ThinkPad X60 - HDA Intel AD1981, playback] Volume Mute, Up, Down keys have no effect

[Andrew]

Since upgrade to 15.04 from 14.10, the physical volume keys (mute, up, down) on my ThinkPad X60 have no effect. I can adjust the volume via the menubar indicator, but the buttons are dead.

Hi Raymond,
Seems reasonable to me that this is related to those patches.

this mean bug in
volume_set_software_mute() since software_mute=Y and still have ec console

you have to file upstream ThinkPad acpi bug report

[Andrew (nacho-vonkickbutt)]

Ok. Where can I file that?

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

do you mean specify software_mute=N does not works as fallback?

you need to send email to the author of the patch, acpi-devel and alsa-devel mailing list
