Those are from a Chaintech AV-710:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829120103

It has a VT1721 (Envy24HT-S) (Why does pciconf detect it has
0x1724???)... **IIRC** They've been known to swap out the VT1721 with
the VT1720 (Envy24PT)... I think they source whatever is cheapest at
the time of production.

Other chips on this card:
VT1616, WM8728, RT9131
