It would help to know which tablet you have.

Why did you reboot into Recovery? Was the tablet malfunctioning in the first place? Do the volume buttons work when you boot the tablet up normally?

It sounds like poorly designed hardware, which is unfortunately not that surprising for off-brand devices like yours. Not sure if there's anything you can do, and I would guess that the manufacturer won't provide any support.
