Do you have any audio at all? If not:
Is your audio driver installed/present in Device Manager? If not install
it.
Is it reported to be working correctly in the device properties? If not
what is the code reported in it's properties?

Will sndvol32.exe open from Start > Run? If not and your audio is
installed and reported to be working, try extracting the file from the i386
folder on the hard drive or XP install disk.

I was having the same problem as jackie and your instructions above fixed it thanks very much. I didn't have a multimedia section within the details but I installed it anyway and all the volume controls came back.
