On my LENOVO T14s (AMD) Gen 1. the LED (F4) indicating the Microphone Mutehas been working properla. With some update it did not light any longer and somebody adviced me that this may be based on the Kernel. With the actual UPdate 09.08.2021) I noticed this difference:
OLD: Kernel Version: 5.10.53-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanently OFF
NEW: Kernel Version: 5.10.56-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanantly ON
The microphone itself including muting / UNmuting is working properly, it’s only an issue with the LED.
I can’t any longer reply to this:But this is to confirm, that the Microphone Mute LED works fine since Kernel 5.15.38-1-MANJARO (linux515) Thanks to everybody, who has been working on this!

Have you tried any other kernels yet? 5.4 and 5.14 would be high on my list…
Thank you @Fabby ,

Not yet and as I’m using Manjaro since very few months, I’ve no idea, how to to this; actually I’m searching a tutorial

If you’re new, go to your launcher and type or look for kernel. That should brighten your day!
Thanks again @Fabby ,kernel earleir, this shows the installed versions, allows to remove some. But I don’t see an option to choose a different one. I’m thinking about the boot options

Have a look over at the wiki and if you get stuck there, let us know which exact item you’re stuck at.
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Manjaro_Kernels
Thank you @Fabby ,
mhwd-kernel --listinstalled
Currently running: 5.10.56-1-MANJARO (linux510)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
* linux510
* linux54
During boot, I went to options and chose the 5.4 version. Then startup is delayed by start-jobs for three USB-devices, that are not mounted actually as they are used for Backups only. Back to Kernel 5.10, there is no issue like that.

Did you forget to test 5.14 Stable?
Thank you @Fabby , no, this …
… was on purpose: On my system 5.14 is experimental (ref. screenshot) and I feel not experienced enough, to try that.
Any idea about the issue with 5.10? The USB-drives are defined in /etc/fstab:

Try 5.13 first and if that doesn’t solve the problem, try 5.14 RC3.
Note: Don’t delete 5.10; just add 5.13 and 5.14 and try them out by going to the advanced options of grub and see if the problem goes away automagically
This system has a setting in ALSA for the LED - ‘Mute-LED Mode’
This command should change the LED setting to show when sound is muted
amixer --card=2 sset 'Mute-LED Mode' 'Follow Master'
The terminal response should confirm the new setting:

But this on Lenovo forum suggests there may be a bug in firmwareEnglish Community-Lenovo Community

Done this, the response is a bit different:
$ amixer --card=2 sset 'Mute-LED Mode' 'Follow Master'
Simple mixer control 'Mute-LED Mode',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'On' 'Off' 'Follow Master'
Item0: 'Follow Master'
The LED behaviour is as before:
Kernel Version: 5.10.53-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanently OFF
Kernel Version: 5.10.56-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanantly ON
Kernel Version: 5.10.59-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanantly ON
Done that, no changes for the LED:
Kernel Version: 5.10.53-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanently OFF
Kernel Version: 5.10.56-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanantly ON
Kernel Version: 5.10.59-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanantly ON
Kernel Version: 5.13.11-1-MANJARO (64-bit) → LED permanantly ON
I do not dare to use version 5.14 as it is experimental …
I have edited my previous post because the URL to the hardware probe was for an T14s model with an Intel CPU not a AMD Ryzen
But I have noticed many of the other T14s models have 4 options for the LED
Simple mixer control 'Mic Mute-LED Mode',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'On' 'Off' 'Follow Capture' 'Follow Mute'
Item0: 'Follow Mute'
I suspect your ALSA option ‘Follow Master’ would only indicate if audio playback is muted
try this command to see if LED changes when audio playback is muted [off] or unmuted [on]

Sorry, this provides an error:
$ amixer -c2 'Master' toggle
amixer: Unknown command 'Master'...
I missed the key part of the command
amixer -c2 sset 'Master' toggle
If the LED is not following the control on the card it might be following the default PulseAudio level control

Try these commands one at a time to see if there are any errors
amixer -c2 sset 'Mic Mute-LED Mode' 'Follow Capture'
amixer -c2 sset 'Capture' nocap
amixer -c2 sset 'Capture' cap
If the Mic Mute LED was working for you on kernel v5.4 you should roll back to that kernel
