どうもこうも

[zuotengdazuo]

『ーーああ、十香のことね。どうなの、様子は』
「どうもこうも……さっきから呼びかけてはいるんだが、全然駄目だ」

The context is 十香 locked herself in her room because she was angry with 士道 and no matter how 士道 knocked the door 十香 wouldn't answer.

Hi. What does どうもこうも mean?
Thank you.

It means you have tried to no avail. Nothing can be done.
