Thanks for bringing this up, we recently hit this in Fedora too
and we have a fix/workaround there. Let me copy and paste what
I just added to bko216355 :
This is caused by a behavior change of the kernel code controlling the LED to only turn on the LED when all inputs, including e.g. the jack mic input are turned off in the alsa-mixer settings.
But most userspace code only turns the mic which it is actually using on/off when you hit the mic-mute hotkey.
Also see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2134824
Which is the same bug.
There is a set of fixes available in the form of an alsa-ucm update which tells the kernel to ignore the state of the jack mic input restoring the old behavior:
