For front panel audio (output)
https://frdmtoplay.com/gigabyte-front-panel-audio-with-linux/
To get the front MIC working, follow a similar procedure, but the PA commands change a bit (replace “sink” with “source”)

For onboard sensors
Compile it87 module
Correct sensor labels (check near the end of the thread)
