Same problem on Toshiba Satellite L755, either on Xubuntu 12.04 or Debian Wheezy.
Everything works well with xfce4-mixer, alsamixer ou amixer command, but it looks like xfce4-volumed ignores the output selected in mixer : it keeps changing the HDMI output volume.
I tried setting keyboard shorcuts (with fn keys and amixer), they are well recognized when I create them, but when I want to use them xfce4-volumed is used (so HDMI volume changed). It looks like the deamon takes over the hotkeys I've set.

I've found a workaround : setting new hotkeys with amixer. Instead of fn+" and fn+' I use super+" and super+'
Commands are :
amixer sset Master 5-
to decrease volume and
amixer sset Master 5-
to increase it.

It works well as xfce4-volumed deamon doesn't recognize them as volume control, but it's quite disturbing at the beginning. ;)
