You do not do this using F16 through F19, like on your other keyboard. On your Magic Bluetooth keyboard, you can adjust volume using: F11 for volume down. F12 for volume up. You can use F10, to Mute/Unmute. Note: Depending on how you have your F-keys setup in Keyboard Preferences, you may also need to use the Fn key with the above commands.
Additionally, beginning with macOS 10.12 Sierra, you can also use VO + minus (on the number row) for volume down, and VO + equals (on the number row) for volume up. These 2 options were introduced when the TouchBar Macs were released in 2016. There is no alternative for Mute/Unmute.

PS I do have f1 and f2 and f3 and f4 on my magic keyboard using blue tooth working ok for voiceover though? thanks Chuck -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
