The xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin package contains a panel that should give you a volume mixer granted you're using pulseaudio or pipewire-pulse

it should be a panel widget you can add to your panel under Settings > Panel > Items

well install pavucontrol, it should've been listed as an optional dependency.

The official Xfce4 Documentation is also a good start for getting into grips with XFCE.

Further for Xfce sound issues, you might find something else interesting here.

Welcome to Arch & have fun!
