The most likely cause of this is that gnome-settings-daemon no longer
supports media keys.

You can restore functionality with gnome-fallback-media-keys-helper, but
it's only packaged for Zorin OS:

Title:
  Volume up/down keyboard keys stoped working after gnome-settings-
  daemon package update

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After updating gnome-settings-daemon from version 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4
  to version 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.5 the keyboard volume keys are not
  working.

  Pressing the keys does not produce the volume OSD, neither the volume
  is increased or decreased.

  The following packages were updated by synaptic:
  cjs (2.0.0-20131021020602-precise) to 2.0.0-20131105020703-precise
  duplicity (0.6.18-0ubuntu3.2) to 0.6.18-0ubuntu3.3
  gimp (2.8.6-0precise1~ppa) to 2.8.8-0precise0~ppa
  gimp-data (2.8.6-0precise1~ppa) to 2.8.8-0precise0~ppa
  gnome-settings-daemon (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4) to 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.5
  libcjs0c (2.0.0-20131021020602-precise) to 2.0.0-20131105020703-precise
  libgimp2.0 (2.8.6-0precise1~ppa) to 2.8.8-0precise0~ppa
  xkb-data (2.5-1ubuntu1.4) to 2.5-1ubuntu1.5
  xserver-common-lts-quantal (2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.3~precise1) to 2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.5~precise1
  xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal (2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.3~precise1) to 2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.5~precise1

  I suspected that the bug might be in xkb-data and/or gnome-settings-daemon.
  Downgrading the xkb-data package the previous version (2.5-1ubuntu1.4) didn't work.
  Downgrading the gnome-settings-daemon package to the previous version (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4) worked!
  Afterwords I upgraded xkb-data to the latest version (2.5-1ubuntu1.5) and left gnome-settings-daemon package to the previous version (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4). And this works!!!

  In conclusion there is some regression introduced into gnome-settings-
  daemon 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.5.
