I've heard people talk about the M.2 affecting secondary cards in the others slots, but with a single card in my rig it's not causing any issues. All I'm using is a 1TB M.2 for storage.
I haven't tested it, but I'm using on-board sound and have seen settings for allowing both the headphones and speakers to run at the same time. Again, can't confirm the functionality in use though.
For RAM, the DOCP setting is there, yes. But memory functionality is rather delicate currently with Ryzen.
If you're content with 2 sticks of RAM, you might be able to get away with not having to do any manual settings.
If you want it running higher than 2666, that increases the chances of having to do some manual BIOS tweaking.
If you want four sticks, you'll almost assuredly need to manually set it, especially if running higher than 2666. And you may not be able to run at stock timings currently.
This is all subject to change with improvements in future BIOS updates.
Your mileage may vary, but IMO I would say if your goal is adamantly to not have to manually setup RAM, plan on buying two sticks of 3200 and under-clocking them to 2666 or 2933 with the DOCP setting.
If that doesn't sound appealing, plan to manually set the memory voltage, speed, and timings.

Thanks for the reply.
Yeh I have no issues having to manually set the RAM.
I was reading that hopefully future BIOS updates will fix that.

There is no PCI slot on this motherboard. Get a PCIE sound card if you don't like the on-board sound.
The M2 slot will not affect the first graphics card slot (16x).
I have a GTX970 with a 960 Evo 1T and Xonar Essense STX.
Memory is a more complicated issue.
