Does anybody have an idea why mute and microphone LEDs on my Lenovo Thinkpad t480s do not light in Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS?
Tips are appreciated.

It doesn't work on kernel 4.13.0-37-generic ; but after an mainline kernel upgrade to kernel version 4.15.15 it works now.

Run the following in the terminal
acpi_listen
Now press the button mute button.
Then give use the results likely something like this:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b
Then open up nano or another text editor.
nano /etc/acpi/events/lenovo-mutemic
And adjust the following for your hotkey.
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b
action=/etc/acpi/lenovo-mutemic.sh
Then we need to make a shells script.
#!/bin/bash
INPUT_DEVICE="'Internal Mic'"
YOUR_USERNAME="place_your_username_here"
if amixer sget $INPUT_DEVICE,0 | grep '[on]' ; then
amixer sset $INPUT_DEVICE,0 toggle
echo "0 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
su $YOUR_USERNAME -c 'DISPLAY=":0.0" notify-send -t 50
-i microphone-sensitivity-muted-symbolic "Mic MUTED"'
else
amixer sset $INPUT_DEVICE,0 toggle
su $YOUR_USERNAME -c 'DISPLAY=":0.0" notify-send -t 50
-i microphone-sensitivity-high-symbolic "Mic ON"'
echo "0 on" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led
fi
Now let's just make it excutable and restart the service.
sudo chmod +x /etc/acpi/lenovo-mutemic.sh
sudo service acpid restart
There are some other methods but this would likely fix the issue.
