Hey there. apparently I've come across a few devices that allow me to mute my microphone.
I've also datamined the HID input events for it and came to the conclusion, that the HID Key 248 causes the microphone to mute and unmute on both lenovo thinkpad keyboards (usually fn + f4) as well as dells soundbars that have microsoft teams certification.
so.. please add this key to wootility, so it can be assigned properly.
thanks!
this keyboard key code both works in windows and linux so I assume it's known enough to be added.

some reference of the oscode in kanata:

OS codes arent helpful on keyboards. What we are actually looking at is hid usage page 0x01 and usage A9 as well as maybe usage page 0x08 and usdage 57
