XFCE audio mixer panel plugin used to show the correct volume when I change the volume either with my Laptop touchbuttons or keyboard volume buttons.
1. To make sure if I am actually changing the volume, I opened alsamixer and tested pressing keys they work fine.
2. I even opened properties option from the indicator and set it to "Master"(the one I use) of my speaker, still no luck.
3. The only problem is the indicator doesnt update when the volume is changed or muted.
But for unknow reason this problem started last week.
Thanks for the help.

I have the same issue.
You can actually change the volume from the indicator, but as you said it doesn't get "updated" when you do it with the keyboard.
edit. And it's not just the plugin/indicator, if you open audio mixer (menu->multimedia) the same thing happens. (though I'm not sure if this wasn't the case before)

Thanks for the reply. For me changing in Audio Mixer(menu->multimedia) changes the volume as same as keyboard changing. But as I said the problem remains with the indicator that doesn't updated when audio volume is updated.
I think it might be a bug in the xfce audio mixer indicator or audio mixer itself.

I can confirm I have this same issue also.

I have pulseaudio also.
What the keyboard key for VOL UP and VOL DOWN do now is: only update the PULSEAUDIO volume.
So if I change Properties/Sound Card: PLAYBACK(pulseaudio) in the AUDIO MIXER (on the TASKBAR), to PULSEAUDIO it will update the volume.
If I change the Properties/Sound Card: ALSA, it will NOT update the volume.
THE VOL UP AND VOL DOWN keys do not change the volume for ALSA.
and I am using the following commands for the keys (in the keyboard config):
amixer set Master 5%+
amixer set Master 5%-
amixer set Master toggle

Same issue for me.
If I change any volume from xfce4-mixer it change at alsamixer too, but not from alsa to xfce4-mixer.
It happens since 2013 march, first days.

Hey guys, I'm following. I have the same issue, too. Since weeks or even months. After I didn't find a solution, I finally got up with it. Would be a great thing, if a solution could be found!

Actually the problem seems to be resolved. I have a fully updated system and installed xfce again few days ago. And it works miraculously..
Installed versions:
1. xfce4-mixer 4.10.0
2. Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.9.3-1-ARCH

Oh, I actually fixed this myself yesterday. I installed pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa and xfce4-volumed-pulse (from AUR) and then removed volume shortcuts from xfce4-keyboard-settings. In xfce4-mixer, you just have to choose a proper playback as a sound card.

Wow, actually it now works for me, too! Amazing!
