Hotkeys
After a recent update, I notice none of my function hotkeys are working on my M3800 keyboard.
Mute, Vol Up/Down, Search, Keyboard backlight, brightness up/down, etc
How do I get these working again?

According to this thread,

you change the settings in the bios:
-Make sure you know How To Enter The BIOS before using this set of instructions taken from the Setup Guide for the Inspiron Laptops-
You can use the Function Key Behaviour setting in the System Setup (BIOS) utility to configure the media control keys. The options in the Function Key Behaviour setting are:
Multimedia Key First - This is the default option. Press any multimedia key directly. For function key, press + the required function key.
Function Key First - Press any function key directly. For multimedia key, press + the required multimedia key.
NOTE: Multimedia Key First option is active only in the operating system. During POST, press or directly.
