I have no sound with newish Asus Z87-A motherboard

I have had Arch linux installed on my newish desktop for about a year now. I have never had working sound, and have used a USB headset that had its own sound card which worked the moment I plugged it in. The headset broke today and I am once again without sound. I am not sure where to look or how to search for the problem on google, i have not found a solution for the problem ever.

I have an Asus Z87-A motherboard, and an nvidia gtx 660 graphics card if that matters.

I have pulseaudio volume control open, for Built in audio Analog Stereo under port it says "line out (unplugged)" and "headphones (unplugged)" I do not have speakers, but i do have my headphones plugged in and it does not recognize it. this is the same for my generic microphone, pulseaudio does not see it.

-I have tried both front and back ports, both do nothing.
-uninstalling pulseaudio and just using alsa, I still don't hear anything
-alsamixer everything is unmuted

Please help, and thanks in advance.

Is the onboard sound enabled in the BIOS?  What does the following output:

dmesg | grep -i audio

I checked my bios and it says Intell Audio is enabled.

this is all I get.
