If you use Vista 64bit or Windows 7 32/64bit the only supported controller (soundcard) is named "hda"..
Once this is done (with machine powered off) and you start it again you just need to install the appropriate windows drivers to support the card you selected to use.

When setting up your virtual machines from a console everything is done using the application 'VBoxManage' and to get usage help just type 'VBoxManage' without any commands and it'll print a list of all supported commands. If you just need a reminder of how 'VBoxManage modifyvm' works, then press enter after that and you'll get help on just 'modifyvm' section.
