Your new motherboard has new audio components  that windows probably doesn't know how to use, you need to install drivers for them. You should be able to find them on the website of your motherboard vendor, if not you can look for your specific audio device from its manufacturer or elsewhere.

 

On a side note, windows can have issues if you replace mobo and cpu like that. You may have more issues with drivers and possibly your windows activation. If you get more issues, I would recommend considering a clean installation.

That would be Digital Audio yes, which only needs usb support, the above would still apply to realtek and 3.5mm jacks. Additionally if trying to plug into your cases audio ports (so not the ones on the back of the motherboard), remember that you need to connect those to your motherboard as well.
