I could be wrong, but it looks like the part that came off is in the fenced off area for onboard audio, so it might be ok if you're using audio from the HDMI on the GPU.
Audio from jack appears... to be working fine. Obviously I am just going by ears and some songs playing, so I can't tell if some minor frequency or noise is present.
There's 6 audio ports on the back of the motherboard (which is why it looks like there are extra/redundant parts) and it could be any of them, not just the main stereo (green) output. But if your main audio is working fine, it should be usable.
Yeah, I think it's the onboard audio. Physical gap to prevent picking up all the noise from the pcie slots.
I'd just check for any components in that area while after it's running to make sure nothing is getting to hot. If you don't want to buy a new mb and want to be maybe safer disable onboard audio in the bios. Then use your GPU, find a cheap sound card, or use usb audio.
Something is damaged, but sometimes it doesn't effect how your using it.
