Hi, Michael, Is the fn key the same as the control key? That's what is to the left of the windows key on my laptop. But if it doesn't work with the f3 and f4 keys to control the volume, I suppose it's a moot point! Thanks.

The fn f3 doesn't work for changing the volume, I already tried it. You can use the fn key with the up and down arrows to adjust the screen brightness.
