Hi,

I would try going in to the OS in safe mode.
Go to the device manager and remove any and all
device drivers listed under the sound.

Actually, remove any and all device drivers under all other components that
you know for sure are not for that new main board.  Even if you remove the
ones for the new board
when the system boots up in normal mode you can reinstall the main board
driver disk.

That should clean up the device drivers so the sound will work
