First of all, thanks for your advice. I got the Z97 Pro, and everything
Just Works. This is with an i7 4790K.

As to sound, it works fine here on 15.04, but so far I've only tested
output via HDMI to my monitor. lspci here lists two audio devices, one
integrated in the CPU and one in the chipset.

Well, I just tried connecting a pair of speakers to the rear panel
connector, and they worked fine. I guess it's a configuration problem
on your side, or you might need a newer kernel driver. Both devices use
snd_hda_intel here.
