Your wired earphone button has 4 leads on the male plug which works ok on smartphones that have 4 receptors on the female jack. However most laptops only have 3 receptors on the female jack so the button can’t operate.
If you have bluetooth earbuds this link ([Bluetooth headset multimedia buttons])1 would help you out. Basically it says /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf needs to contain uinput.
