ASRock onboard audio hardware not detected

Got used computer from friend, cannot install additional hardware.

  • Onboard HD Audio is set to enabled in BIOS
  • device manager – add legacy hardware – no new hardware detected
  • device manager – no audio device visible at all
  • dxdiag shows no audio devices installed

This is the mainboard ASRock N68-GS4/USB3 FX (Rev 1.0) BIOS v1.10

also tried linux – no audio hardware available. anyone can confirm this is hardware failure?

Side note: PCIe graphics card only black screen and not visible in device manager, maybe graphics card is broken. I got onboard graphic working with 309.08 whql drivers, so just mention that because it may related to audio issue.
