Bug Description
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-
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."

After powercycling my laptop, the volume and mute keys now work fine.
I'm not sure where to go with this now.
