This Audigy SE 7.1 looks to be a solid card. Edit: correct link.

ok failing all of this get a set of usb headphones and if they work then that will give you some idea that the onboard sound is working..but i still think it`s a bios issue

exactly what you refer to as "hd audio"

the plug that connects the front audio ports. so what i'm asking is whether it has a plug that i can plug the front audio cable to the sound card

I believe it has the AC97 audio connection, but nit HD. The card you linked is quite old.

Here is the manual, which indicates the internal connection on the card will work with your case's HD audio connector:

okay i replaced the mobo and now there is sound. Everything seems to be working right now. I will play some games to make sure nothing is wrong. the bad part of replacing my mobo was that I had to reinstall windows 7. I haven't activate it yet tho because I want to make sure that every thing is okay.

Just a small question, right now some of the windows aero features, like window preview won't work. The reason is because I haven't activated the product key yet, right?

Aero will work if you Windows Experience Index score is high enough. You may need to re-run the test if you haven't run it since all drivers were installed.
