Not too sure on this one, the Kobian site do not list the model, I think audio is realtek, but can you Get Everest, copy and paste the Computer / Summary section, see if it gives some clues

When i try to open Volume Control i get a alert message saying:

"There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices.. go to control panel... add hardware"

What is mixer device? I tried adding hardware option - but really know what to add there.

Could this the problem?
