You might try this:
In the Run box, type:
sfc /scannow
hit Enter, and have your installation CD handy. This would detect that sndvol32 is missing and replace it from the disk, I would hope.

If for some reason this doesn't work, you can try searching the CD for sndvol32 with the Windows search function. When found, copy it to your /system32 folder.

Couldn't say exactly on the disc where it is, as this may vary depending on the OEM. On a retail XP disc, it is in the I386 folder, and it looks like this: SNDVOL32.EX_
This means it needs to be expanded. You can type
expand /?
at a command (cmd) prompt for instructions, but it will look something like
expand D:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ C:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe
