The instance of XFCE that I am using seems to be really buggy. I am forced to use both xfce-volumed-pulse and xfce-pulseaudio-plugin side by side, and the issue that arises from this is that now there are two notification indicators for the present volume.

When I remove xfce-volumed-pulse (this plugin is no longer shown on the official documentation), the multimedia key stops working, so there’s no notification indicator.

But when I remove xfce-pulseaudio-plugin, I am no longer able to access the slider widget in the control panel, that allows me to tap into pavucontrol.

What is happening here?

    I’m using Xfce, and the program to control volume is “pavucontrol”, no problem with it…

    Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so

        I don’t know what program really is catching the keys, but from my keyboard, the vol+/- mute speaker and mute mic are working, my behavior enable keyboard shortcut checkbox is rightly checked.

        For logging, PANEL_DEBUG=all (source) seems to work. Anyway, did you reboot the system after removing xfce-volumed-pulse (so only xvce-pulseaudio-plugin should be enabled) ?
