You won't find a kernel module in /etc.  The modules are the various .ko files 
under /lib/modules/$YOUR_KERNEL_VERSION, but you have no reason to go 
screwing around with any of that.  The modules are not going to be loaded by 
your initd, which is only for critical modules necessary for booting, like 
the drivers for filesystems and various kinds of storage hardware.

What you want to start with is lsmod to see which modules are loaded.  You'll 
probably find your snd_hda_intel there.  I don't know how to fix your 
problem, but I deal with how_to_get_sound_working issues constantly, and I've 
seen a lot of people reporting problems with Intel and HD in them, to the 
point where I really hate that chip, even though I don't know anything about 
it.

I'd try the ALSA upgrade first.  Who knows.
