HP Elitebook 840 G1 - 19.10 - Microphone mute key does not work
I just installed Ubuntu 19.10 on my HP Elitebook 840 G1. Switching from Windows to Ubuntu for personal use.
The mic does not enable/disable with FN+F8 combo and the light is constantly on.
I found the following solution to my problem. However, I do not know how to implement it in Ubuntu 19.10 (new to Ubuntu and generally not as techinical).

1. Would greatly appreciate if someone could point me to step by step instructions to install the code from the link above. I can report back if this resolve the issue.
2. Also, is there a way to incorporate a fix for this issue with HP laptops in Ubuntu going forward? When I was searching for a fix, I found this to be a widespread issue with various HP laptops and Ubuntu dating back a couple years.
Many thanks.
