Is the sound enabled in the BIOS?

Have you installed the chipset drivers for the Asus motherboard? What motherboard do you have?

Before you do anything make sure that the sound chip is enabled in the device manager or go to control panel, audio setting, hardware and enable the sound chip.
Usually you wont get sound if this is not enabled even if its enabled in bios.

I've tested it on my dell.
