F11 and F12 setting

My F11 and F12 keys are not controlling the sound levels on my Mac Mini.  I want these keys to lower and raise the volume of the sound, respectively.  Instead the keys move away and bring back any open windows.  



I remember that there is some setting in the Keyboard for getting these two function keys to control sound levels rather than windows.  I do not remember what that setting is.  Does anyone know?

Mac mini, macOS 13.1
