Hi, I'd recommend you change this, because as voiceover users you will bie using the function keys often. Go to system prefs, keyboard, and there will be a checkbox to use the f1, f2 keys etc for standard functions or something like that. Check it, and the function keys will perform software actions now. To rase the volume or screen brightness now instead of only using the function keys use them with the fn key, so they perform hardware actions.
