Thinkpad T460 Microphone mute key no longer works on KDE
Last modified: 2018-02-22 04:54:22 UTC
Hello the Microphone Mute key no longer toggle microphone on and off on KDE 5.11.95. Global Shortcut is correctly assigned. The key also has a led indicating mute state. However I can toggle the microphone between mute and unmute by using: - System tray Audio Volume Settings (key led also toggles) - "amixer set Capture toggle" in terminal (key led also toggles) Any fix or workaround would be appreciated. It works fine on openSUSE Leap 42.3.

Hi, thanks for filing this bug report. I'm guessing that this is caused by the same thing as bug 1078487, so I'll close this as a duplicate for now. If it turns out to be unrelated, please let me know so I can reverse this change. Thank you! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1078487 ***
Hi Kevin, thanks for commenting. I don't know if it's the same bug as in my case only the Microphone key doesn't mute. It only happens when using KDE. I tried latest snapshot of GNOME and the key works. xev output also indicates me that the key is working. I think my issue is related to a new bug in KDE 5.12 as reported by these bugs too: - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390094 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389991 (maybe) As a temporary workaround a bash script to run "amixer set Capture toggle" and kdedialog for basic notifications. I assigned it to the Microphone key in Global Shortcuts and it works. What do you think?

I was talking to a Kevin while typing and the name slipped in.
It appears that this was indeed a separate issue, my apologies for prematurely marking this as a duplicate. The following links says that this should be fixed in Plasma 5.12.1: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390161

Thanks a lot for the update on this. I'm waiting for the update to hit Tumbleweed then. Cheers

Thanks a lot!
