my f10 f11 and f12 keys no longer control volume on my macbook air

Not sure how/when this happened, but think it may be related to last update. Audio works, and I can still control through the control panel, but the keys no longer work for up/down/mute volume. Box for 'normal function' is unchecked in system preferences. Anybody know a fix?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Choose the method for:

"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".

Best.
