try loading snd-hda-intel first ( BTW it sounds really weird that no snd-*

Good idea!
modprobe snd-hda-intel results in detected sound cards.
$aplay -l

As a user I got:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

and then the list.

Should I follow " Run pulseaudio systemwide" from http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/89977/pulseaudio-failed-to-create-secure-directory-in-nfs-share ?
Anyway, snd-hda-intel is found at /etc/modules

Can you post the output of ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/ ?
