[SOLVED] HP Envy Mute LED

lixo1 · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 25 Sep 2010 Posts: 84

Dear all,

I'm observing that my mute button never changes color (orange=mute on, nothing= mute off) with gentoo kernel 2.6.34-r6.

On ubuntu 10.04 I fixed this issue installing the linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic (2.6.31.22.35) package, that probably provides a new version of alsa. On Ubuntu 10.10 this issue is already fixed.

So, on Gentoo I emerged alsa-utils, alsa-firmware, alsa-tools, alsa-headers version 1.0.23-r1, then alsaconfig and finally reboot, but it doesn't work!

Someone have an idea about what I'm missing? Thank you very much for any kind of help!

here you have my emerge --search alsa:

I think you might be able to do something with xev and, well, this:

There's a nifty XOSD program or two you can make use of also, just can't remember what it's called.

Thank you very much for your reply, but I forget to say that my mute button works, the only problem is the led color.
Any hints?

Orange paint?

You got me there. Let us know if you find a solution.

Hi,

I fixed the problem installing by hand alsa-drivers, alsa-libs and alsa-utils 1.0.23.
In fact my card: IDT 92HD81B1X5, is supported only with alsa >= 1.0.23

I also tried gentoo kernel 2.6.35-r10 but the alsa driver buildin doesn't solve the problem.

Thanks for all help.

Hi. Is there a gentoo way to achieve this?

Many thanks
