Hi @RochelleX1,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand how frustrating it can be when a key isn't functioning as expected, especially if it's something you use frequently. Let's figure this out together!
Could you share more details?
- Is the F8 key not working at all, or is it just not unmuting the sound?
- Are you using a Windows laptop, Mac, or an external keyboard?
- Do other function keys (F1-F12) work properly?
- Has this issue started recently, or has it always been this way?
Please share the above details and we will be happy to help.
Take care and have a good day.
