Mute button led is not working

Help
1

I have a HP Pavilion 15-eg3xxx, with realtek ALC287, RTL8852BE, the mute button is on the F5 key. The key is working but the led doesn’t work. There are numerous posts on the Arch Forums and the Arch Wiki talks a bit about this, too. But I was wondering if there are patches/workarounds specific to NixOS. The kernel version is linux-6.10.6 and I have a flake enabled NixOS 24.11.20240824.d0e1602 (Vicuna x86_64), initial install was 24.05 Uakari x86_64. I use

services.pipewire = { enable = true;' pulse.enable = true; wireplumber.enable = true; alsa = { enable = true; support32Bit = true; }; jack.enable = true; };
So I can’t use alsa as there is an error with sound.enable.
Sorry for the weird style of code. I don’t know how to use preformatted text.

Thank you in advance.

Use fenced code blocks.

If you figure out (perhaps from the Arch forums) how to solve this problem in general, I’d be happy to help you implement that in NixOS.

Well, that’s the problem. I can’t figure it out because my laptop’s config is not there. There have been cases with “lower number” versions of the same laptop I am using where they did seem to fix the problem. But nothing for the likes of hardware I am using. Is there a way to get this into the kernel itself?

Perhaps try searching for this laptop on other popular distros…
