Sacred Gold Doesn't Like My Realtek HD Azalia! Help!

[General Hoohah]

My motherboard comes with Realtek HD, and apparently Sacred Gold HATES any drivers I install for it. I've been trying several different drivers, and nothing works!!!

This is my mobo:

This is the most current driver for my OS:

Anyone have any ideas on how to get this game to work?? The company who made it went bankrupt so I can't ask them for help. PLEASE, can someone help me?

The Sacred Forums told me to add -skipopenal to the game's shortcut... but I have no idea how to do that with steam! Is there a way???

[in.meinem.turm.]

right click on the game
properties and then "set launch options"

Didn't work...

Seriously what the hell kind of game doesn't support Realtek drivers!?!
