First, lets confirm that you are using the Xfce4 notification daemon and not another one:

pgrep -a notif

If it is the xfce4-notify daemon that is running, its configuration settings can be found at Settings Manager > Notifications. Make sure that the disappear time is set to your liking.

If you want to get rid of all sound volume change notifications, you'll need to determine which application is sending the request. It might be an application like xfce4-volumed or a panel plugin like xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.

Or perhaps its an issue with pulseaudio flat volumes. If you are using pulseaudio, try setting "flat-volumes = no" in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to keep vlc from changing the volume when it starts.
