Strange, every pic you've shown has a signal present.
The speakers work fine on a CD or Mp3 player I assume.
Were there any jumpers for audio on that board ot a connector to hook up the front panel jacks?
All outputs are unmuted?
This almost seems like something mechanical, have you tried the most of the back panel jacks?

That is what I was thinking wrt mechanical. I pulled off the speaker jumper from mobo just to see if it made a difference. I basically took everything 'extra' out and still nothingHo
Not sure where I would look to see if all outputs were muted.
Right click MS speaker icon in the system tray.. then Playback Devices, select Speakers then select the properties button, there should be a window with several tabs, one of then is "Levels" should have all your levels there along with mute buttons. There's a sidebar scroll as there are many level settings
There Stereo level adjustment is usually labeled "Front" but just to be sure I would unmute everything and bring all levels up.

Have you tried killing the OB sound in the BIOS to see what happens?
May not help (but won't hurt) but while you are in the window Aphelion pointed you to, click on Advanced and if it isn't already it set it to 16 bit/44100 Hz.
I finally have some free time to revisit this issue. I have tried all of the above recommendations and still am without sound. Seems like it has to be some stupid little thing that I am overlooking. I can't believe that the board has a problem with Win7 otherwise there would be a lot more people complaining.
have you tried to re-install all Mobo drivers from disc ?
That ussually does the trick most of the time something else mixed up the configuration
By the way i read partially the post so if someone suggested this already sorry .......
Ok editing this post i read you did try drivers already maybe you have a loose sound cable connection or maybe you have a cable going from the dvd/cd rom to the Mobo if so get rid of it might be conflicting if it is no good or working so so ......
also run a diagnostic check of what is conflicting also your reasourse or driver mods might really be off if not I would just consider working on installing a different sound card keep in mind windows 7 might not work with that soundcard vs the last os
