Keyboard Function Keys not working

I have a MacBook Air M1 and recently purchased a new keyboard, the ilovbee i61 from Amazon. I'm having difficulty operating the function keys, including play/pause and volume control. Despite trying to use them (e.g., Fn+F8 for play/pause), they didn't work for me. Is anyone else encountering the same problem?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.2

Function keys stopped working as expected My function keys stopped working as expected even though the setting "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is turned on in keyboard preferences. I do not care to assign the function keys -- I just want them to work as indicated by the symbols on the keyboard. This applies to both my Magic bluetooth keyboard and the built-in keyboard on my MacBook Pro.

Function keys not working on Magic Keyboard I have a new Magic Keyboard paired to a MacBook Pro (13in 2020). The function keys worked fine, but since I charged the keyboard they now don't work. F11 (which should turn the volume down) now hides windows. None of the others do anything at all. When I go to Preferences > Keyboard and select "Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard" nothing happens - it just spins and spins. But I'm using the keyboard right now, so it is connected. Any suggestions? I've restarted my MacBook and turned the keyboard on and off. Thanks
