You said you have Devuan Chimaera (XFCE) installed on a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad 330s 15-ikb.
The acpi-support package appears to provide support for the function keys of various notebook models:
"[...]It is able to:
* Detect loss and gain of AC power, lid closure, and the press of a
number of specific buttons (on Asus, IBM, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony
and Toshiba laptops).[...]"
If that doesn't work, maybe it's because the IdeaPads have different firmware than other ThinkPad models:
"The ThinkPad SL series and IdeaPad series have firmware that is completely different from other ThinkPad models. Neither tp_smapi nor thinkpad-acpi support these models."

I have been testing others DE and I have the same inconvenience on them. Also, the F4 seems that is not working alone, but if I press the Fn + F4, Devuan takes it like only one key. I made a shortcut to silence the microphone (I know that the key is working because it works on any other distro). So, I don't know what the problem is.
]]>Hello, I have some problems trying to mute the microphone with the keyboard, the key doesn't work on XFCE; however, if I use other distro or DE the key works well. Any advice with this situation?
Thank you.
Hmm... I had this problem once, every time I poweroff my devuan system and power it back on, its enabled all over again.
On an unrelated note, I can't use the FN F4 key combination to make devuan go into suspend mode. I may make a separate issue for that, although...
its odd I am on beowulf, a stable release and it does this...
XFCE might be the problem for you, or it could be another mess that debian is allowing redhat to make.
hard to say...
]]>Thank you.
