Check whether it outputs data to the *keyboard* and not through ACPI.

Yeah, software control of that LED is still unavailable, and it is not for a
lack of knowing how to toggle it.  The issue is a bit more complicated.

thinkpad-acpi is fully configurable for the hotkey support.  If the mic mute
button is one of the ACPI buttons, at most you need to set the thinkpad-acpi
keymap and enable the button in the hotkey mask.  If Ubuntu has that
working, you can just copy the thinkpad-acpi keymap and hotkey mask from
Ubuntu.

Instructions are provided in Documentation/laptop/thinkpad-acpi.txt.  How to
read/write the input device keymap is distro-specific.
