Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can get sound working with OS X on VMWare. VMWare provides it's own "virtual" sound card to guest systems (independent of your physical sound device), so it wouldn't matter what card you actually have; same applies to video. I think a lot of people seem to confuse virtual hardware in VMWare with their real physical hardware. If you install OSx86 directly on your hard drive, though (without VMWare), your sound should work out of the box (I have the same soundcard and it works).

You are right, no matter which soundcard you have none of the drivers will work inside VMware, there is a kext that Maxxuss made while ago for VMware, shearch it in the forum, most of the installation DVDs has it, the same applies with the Network Card, and also Maxxuss made a driver for VMware.

 

If you installed from VMware but you are booting native you need a specific driver not the VMware's
