sound not responsive to keyboard controls
When I play a video clip or you tube video-the sound is barely audible-how do I get my 8.1 MBPro to respond to the keyboard audio controls?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Hello gail239,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that the volume keys on your keyboard are not changing the volume on your Mac. I'd like you to make sure that the option outlined below is disabled.
If you prefer the top row of keys to always behave as standard function keys without holding the Fn key:
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
- From the View menu, choose Keyboard.
- Click the Keyboard tab if it is not already selected
- Enable "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."
With this option enabled, the top row of keys acts as standard function keys (F1 - F12). To use a feature indicated by the icon printed on a key, hold Fn while pressing the key.
