Hello!

Regarding the (complete) failure of the mic-key-test with the last
kernel tested (v3.11.10.6-saucy), I can tell you that the situation
has not deteriorated with the 14.04 Ubuntu-live beta version kernel;
but it didn't get better with it, either.

When started from a stick, the mic-key LED(!) worked (again), as it
does now with the version 13.10 standard kernel, but the key itself
doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

This is a message just to keep things up-to-date.

Thanks.

Title:
  MicMute key on lenovo w510 thinkpad doesn't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Starting with linux-kernel 3.11.0-17 (linux-image-
  extra-3.11.0-17-generic), on a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 the LED within the
  MicMute key is working in the way that it is on by default (meaning
  mic is 'mute'/off). It turns off when activating the microphone via
  'settings'/Internal Microphone 'on' and lights up again when the mic
  is turned off, correctly.

  But the key itself (MicMute, KEY_MICMUTE) isn't showing any function; especially it is not turning the microphone on or off.
  The change apparently comes form the thinkpad_acpi kernel module. It seems, that the MicMute-key press/release isn't registered at all, as I couldn't successfully detect an acpi key 'event'.

  This is for notification, mainly, but thanks for any activity to
  repair that behaviour.
