I'm running exactly the same motherboard and I got help from here -

I got my sound work - both microphone and speakers - as I wrote also there at phorum.

I used the following advice:

asoundconf set-default-card default

then doing the complete uninstall/reinstall of the sound on my system by:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils (Uninstall sound, also uninstalls 
the gdm and desktop for some reason in the GNOME Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils (Reinstall sound)
sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop (Necessary on the GNOME Ubuntu)

Note: if you tried the ~/.asound file configuration listed in the earlier post of this thread, in my 
experience you need to remove the .asound file first or you will end up with no USB audio device.

Entering the asoundcof set-default-card default may be all that's needed to get the cmedia usb audio 
working, when I made that entry the alsa mixer seemed to work, but when I rebooted the .asound file 
took the snd_usb_audio out of the system, requiring the uninstall/reinstall. If your like me, you've 
probably been messing with the audio for a while, and doing the complete install is probably a good 
idea anyway.
