I own HP 15-db0038nc laptop. It has LED on mute key, which indicates if sound is muted or not. It works on Windows, but it doesn't work in Linux (Xubuntu 18.04). I don't see it in alsamixer. This is what I see when i use aspi_listen and press mute key:

button/mute MUTE 00000080 00000000 K

Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

In my case (HP Pavilion x360) this works:

sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=alc295-hp-x360" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

For my HP Pavilion 14-bf000 laptop, @serhumanos' answer kinda worked, but I noticed that it linked the LED to only the built-in speakers. So e.g. when I plugged in headphones, the LED would reflect the mute state of the speakers, NOT the headphones.

I found that a different hda model (hp-mute-led-mic3) fixed this problem for me. Concretely, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/mute.conf* with the contents

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-mute-led-mic3

* I think the filename doesn't matter - it just has to be in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, and end in .conf.
