Problems with XFCE4 [SOLVED]

Hi, I decided to move from Budgie DE to XFCE4 because I wanted to try something new. However, I cannot seem to change volume. On my usual Budgie Desktop, I press either f7 or f8 to decrease or increase volume, but on XFCE I can't seem to do it. I have installed both xfce4 and xfce4-goodies as shown:

sudo pacman -S xfce4

sudo pacman -S xfce4-goodies

Another problem that showed was that the notifications popup doesn't appear on the top-right. Instead it shows up in the top-middle of the screen which is really annoying. It does show correctly on the top-left and bottom-left.
Help would be appreciated.

Aha. After installing pulseaudio I am now able to change my volume with f7 and f8. But the notification problem is still happening I prefer it to show on the top right but the setting only puts it on the top middle.

Make sure that xfce4-notifyd is running and not another notification daemon. You can configure xfce4-notifyd in Settings Manager > Notifications.
