Ah, oh, so the HW works and you got the speaker connector in the
hole. That's good![1] ;)

Ok, that board should be rather closeish to mine (GA-MA770TA-UD3.
Might use a different soundchip though, but those should work
automatically.

Simliar here, but it'd be interesting, what actual device is that
onboard sound, here it's:
$ /sbin/lspci -nn | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00
Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383]
[plus the HDMI of the video card]
According to the MoBo manual, it's a Realtek ALC888 codec.

This works here:
CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM=y
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m
CONFIG_SND_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCI=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CORE=m
CONFIG_SND_SPI=y
Not sure if CONFIG_SND_SPI and CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC are needed, but
the other ones seem crucial.
Oh, the above is for a 4.14 kernel, but has been the same for a looong
time now.
HTH,

[1] happend to me a few days ago when I, after a long time again, un-
and then wrongly replugged the speaker on my MoBo ;)
