Hi, It is the same command. You can use either cmd-f5, or hold down the cmd key and triple press the power button/fingerprint sensor.
If you have a sighted person around, have them check if audio is muted in the VoiceOver Utility under the Sound category. Do you hear any noise at all when you attempt to turn on VoiceOver? I have heard of someone else having issues with their M1 MacBook Air, but that was after setup was complete, and I don’t believe that VoiceOver was behaving like you’ve explained. I have both an M1 MacBook Air and an M1 MacBook Pro here and have not had anything similar happen to me.
