[HP ENVY Laptop 15-ep0xxx] Mute-microphone key doesn't work

[Fikrul Arif]

Pressing mic mute on the keyboard doesn't mute/unmute the microphone, and the light indicator on the key is not changed. `xev` gives this when the key is pressed:

MappingNotify event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248

KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x93b, subw 0x0, time 1133652, (210,515), root:(2914,643),
    state 0x0, keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x93b, subw 0x0, time 1133652, (210,515), root:(2914,643),
    state 0x0, keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

However, trying to record/add the keyboard shortcut in Settings > Keyboard is not successful. When the key is pressed it seems it doesn't detect the key pressed event.
