A reasonable /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf would be

###########
alias snd-card-0 snd_emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 saa7134_alsa
alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio
options snd_emu10k1 index=0
options saa7134_alsa index=1
options snd-usb-audio index=2,3
###########

There is no sound device for snd-hda-intel.

Bug closed hereby
