This is a problem with ALSA, I have filed a bug report on ALSA's bug 
tracker Mantis (I have a Chaintech ZNF3-150 as well). If you wish to see 
the status of the bug please see my forum I setup at 
http://bhpdc-forums.dyndns.org/alsa or check the official bugnotes at 
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000142

Currently the specific chipset (the VT1720) is not programmed into alsa 
and one of the devs is trying to get Vias information at the moment.
