Yep, on my HP laptop, the default was to use the special secondary operations on the function keys by just hitting the function keys (volume up/down, wifi, etc.). The actually use the function keys themselves, you had to press the little blue Fn key (to the left of the space bar) plus the function key.

However, you could reverse this behavior in the BIOS (which is what I do). That's what it sounds like is the problem to me (as others have also noted).
