  1. Limiting Function Keys


    My FN (Function) Keys are controlling my master volume, instead of the media playing (on YouTube). Is there a way to limit them to only control the current media playing? The pause and play function only control YouTube, which is good, but I can't seem to control it alone with the volume function keys. It controls my main audio device.
