May you all live in peace!
I have recently setup a Dell Optiplex 2950 server using ESXi 6.5. I have added Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound card to server. Now, I want to run this card from either Ubuntu or Windows Virtual machine. I googled and found that I need to setup Passthrough to achieve the same but when I go to vSphere Web Client -> Host -> Manage -> Hardware, it does show my card over there but says 'Not capable'. For all the 36 devices listed, it says 'Not capable'.
Can someone guide how can I make my sound card work on at least one of my virtual machines? (A screenshot of my Hardware tab is attached).
Please note I have already tried post on internet suggesting to modify .vmx file for sound card but that does not work. I assume, unless passthrough is not configured, the same will not work.
Looking to hear from experts.
Warm regards,
