Mute is done on hardware.  It may be reflected somewhere in the HDA
mixer (I don't know), and in the EC register space, but it does not
send keycodes.

There is no volume control, don't use that.  The driver doesn't yet
know how to detect such things, and makes a mess.

It is possible, however, that the MUTE bit can be read correctly from
NVRAM or the EC space (register 0x30).  Please manipulate Mute and
volume *using the keyboard* only, and tell me if the mute part of "cat
/proc/acpi/ibm/volume" works fine...
