This is what I found on PCHELL and it worked:

Solution

It turns out the problem for this error lies in the Windows Audio Service, which usually starts automatically when the sound card is installed and working. However, in this case the service was turned off. Follow the instructions below to reactivate the Windows Audio service.


1) Click on Start and Run
2) Type the following command and press Enter

services.msc

3) Scroll down to Windows Audio in the right-hand column and double-click on it

4) Make sure the Startup Type is set to Automatic and click on the Start button under Service Status. The Windows Audio service should restart and the error with the volume control should be resolved.

My volume is currently not working. I know my sound card is fine. I went to control panel and then to "sounds and audio devices" but my Device Volume is ... well un-clickable (im no expert with computers, its very obvious) Im not sure what to do.... i know i have to access my Device Volume, but as i said it wont let me.
