I was looking to buy this motherboard for my new (and first) build, the ASUS M5A97-EVO r2.0... Upon looking at some reviews I got really good feedback on it but also one thing that bothers me is someone who said he couldn't get his sound to work at all with this mobo... Is this a good gaming mobo and especially looking at sound? I might be looking at 5.1 speakers

This is the rest of my build:
