For a certain thing to float, it depends on the mass, weight and the size, . The lighter and smaller a thing is, the more its likely to float. The heavier an object, the more it is likely to stay on the ground. An object can float(or sink) in water, or even in the sky.

Does volume tell you if something will sink or float?

No, volume alone does not determine if something will sink or float. The density of an object compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines whether it will sink or float. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and it will sink if its density is greater.

What controls buoyancy?

It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.
