Re your sound, or lack of. Did you install (reinstall) the SoundMAX audio
drivers from the ASUS installation CD? You're not using another sound card,
are you?
If you did install the SoundMAX drivers, you might try removing them and
then reinstalling. What does the Sounds and Audio Device Properties ***
indicate in Control Panel? Is the SoundMAX Digital Audio shown in the Audio
section? If not, is it listed in the drop-down text box so that you can
select it? And last, but not least, are you sure you've plugged in your
speaker cable to the correct plug?

Re your USB problem: I can't recall if there were any USB drivers on the
ASUS installation CD. I don't think so, but if there are, install or
reinstall them. If not, see if there are any clues in Device Manager in the
USB controllers section. Might be useful to uninstall all the USB
controllers listed, reboot, and let Windows reinstall them.
