Re your sound, did you run alsamixer (as root) and unmute / turn up the levels?. Did you run alsactl store (again, as root) afterwards to save them? I did a quick spot of googling on your mobo and it seems it should work. Try modprobe snd-hda-intel (got this from 2.6 kernel, don't know if it's in 2.4).
