Hi,

I think this subject is misleading.  It really should be something like 
"getting laptop function keys to work".  Which is a completely different 
subject than getting your sound to work.  But the first step is.

1 - get your sound to work

You didn't really say whether your sound works or not, regardless of 
using the F10-F12 keys.

After that is done, then you need to work on the keys.  I personally am 
not a good laptop or key binding person, so I'm hoping that some others 
here would know.
