You are right. It is tedious to remove the sound modules during runtime
since some graphical programs use/depend on them and there are also many
sound modules.

The command you would be looking for is `modprobe` and you would pass
the parameter `model` with a file in `/etc/modprobe.d/` or when loading
the module directly with `modprobe snd-hda-intel model=…`.

Do you mean, that an update during the last two months could have fixed
that?

As long as it happens also with a working headset this is indeed a bug
that should be fixed.
