media keys on magic keyboard not working on catalina

Hi there,


I've downgraded from monterey to catalina for a good reason.

Now the only problem I have is that the media keys on my magic keyboard won't work.

Maybe there's an app or something. I would like to have the keys previous title; play/pause; next title; mute; louder; quieter.

Updating to Big Sur or Monterey is out of question because everything since Mac Os 11 is purely buggy.

the most things will work better on catalina.

if there's no solution i would rather live the way it is now than going back to that buggy ****.


Cheers

Joachim

Make sure "Use F1, F2, etc.…" is unchecked in System Preferences > Keyboard.
