Hello,
Be warned:- Newbie advice!
The VT audio controller looks like the controller on your southbridge.
It doesn't seem to be detecting your card.
Is your card installed?
Is the module for your card loaded?
And also, sometimes it pays to remove your card and gently wipe the contact
points with a soft cotton cloth (never your hands), then reseating it firmly
again because it might not be contacting properly.
Regards,
David.
