I am experiencing this bug in Xubuntu 12.10(fully updated).
The volume keys are mapped correctly and work in other desktop
environments(such as Unity&MATE).
I can confirm workaround in #11, thank you Neil!

Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Tags added: workaround
** Description changed:
The volume and mute keys on my Lenovo G550 laptop running Xubuntu
Precise Beta 2 don't have any effect on the volume or mute status.
The notification box does pop up showing the volume increasing /
decreasing /muting as the buttons are pressed.
There is no change to the speaker icon in the top panel as the buttons
are pressed.

+ Workaround from comment #11 by Neil Bryant:
+ "Go to the Xfconf Settings (in my XFCE, Applications Menu | Settings |
Settings Editor) or run xfce4-settings-editor
+
+ go to xfce4-mixer
+
+ the active-card property sets what the volume keys target. In my case,
+ sound-card is set to what the mixer is set to, but active-card is set to
+ my HDMI card.
+
+ I copied the value from 'sound-card' to 'active-card', and the volume
+ keys started working instantly."
