I''ve found the resolve: you MUST also install the driver for the Intel 4000 HD Graphics, not only the one for the AMD board. The driver for Intel 4000 also has the Intel Display Audio, with which you can also use Fn + F11 and F12 to adjust the volume and Fn + F4 and F5 for brightness.

Fn + F4 to decrease and Fn + F5 to increase brightness.

If fn option doesn't work try F4 and F5 only.
