I tired to do the service. msc , didn't work.

All I did was Install XP and no Volume control came with it.

What is the model of the laptop in question ?

How do you check what model again would it be located under the laptop?

Open up a command prompt . Click on the button type CMD , right click and choose Run as administrator . Input the commands below

wmic csproduct get vendor,name,identifyingnumber

Model Number: emachines M5405

Should I just download realtek HD Audio . This has always been a way to fix it . Every time I bumped into a problem like this. I am thinking of giving it a shot.
