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.
