T410 microphone mute button doesn't work

[RChris173]

Hi,

I have a problem with my microphone mute button on my T410.  It does not mute the microphone when pressed.  I verified this by opening the Sound settings in Control Panel and the fact that the amber light doesn't come on to indicate it is muted.  When I mute the microphone through the Control Panel Sound option, the light does not come on either.

This started happening after a reinstall of Windows.  I made sure to install all the software and driver updates using the Lenovo Driver and Software update tool. I also individually downloaded and installed the Conexant drivers, too.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Make sure that Lenovo Camera Mute service is launched in System configuration.

I found it in services.msc and tried starting it, but it stopped after I clicked start. It said if the service is not in use by any application that it would do that. 

Could there be an application that I need as well?

Thanks,

Chris

I also noticed that when I adjust the brightness with the function key that the on screen display does not come up.

Hi,

I have the same problem with my T410. I have already installed both of the drivers (the links posted above) and I have all other drivers installed on my computer as well but the microphone mute button still doesn't work... I downloaded the ThinkVantage system update program and it updated a few drivers and even downloaded and installed some but didn't fix the problem. Is there any other way to make it work?

Thanks
