It looks like you're using EZConfig, in which case you should be able
to just use
("XF86AudioRaiseVolume", spawn "aumix2pipe -10")
Have a look at the source for "multimediaKeys" in module
XMonad.Util.EZConfig for the names of other multimedia keys.

Those of us who don't use EZConfig can do:

main = xmonad defaultConfig
        { ...
        , keys = \c -> myKeys c `M.union` keys defaultConfig c
        ...
        }

myKeys XConfig{XMonad.modMask = modm} = M.fromList
    [ ...
      -- XF86AudioMute
    , ((0, 0x1008ff12), spawn "amixer -q set PCM toggle")
      -- XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    , ((0, 0x1008ff13), spawn "amixer -q set PCM 1+")
      -- XF86AudioLowerVolume
    , ((0, 0x1008ff11), spawn "amixer -q set PCM 1-")
      -- XF86Mail
    , ((0, 0x1008ff19), spawn "urxvtc -e abook")
    ]

As was just suggested
